RE: Rear disc conversion a big success

[Brian Honnold <bhonnold@pac-cap.com>]

Well, you have to upgrade the booster because the 16V M/C won't bolt up to 
the MkI booster.  In addition to that required upgrade, you also have to 
swap in the late model brake/clutch pedal assembly in order to attach the 
clevis from the 16V brake booster to the brake pedal.

I tried this without changing pedals and had to fabricate a totally micky 
mouse clevis extender that sometimes binds and makes my brake lights stay 
on.....

Oh, that's another thing...when you upgrade to the 16V M/C you have to 
re-wire the brake lights to work off a switch on the brake pedal assembly 
because the MkI pedal cluster has no place for the switch.

While we are on the brake issue, anyone know which VW's and Audis now come 
with the big dual piston calipers in the front?
