Thanks, but I do not plan to do 10.1" front
conversions on three Sciroccos!

Gifted list members advise me that 20mm is fine if you
keep 9.4" fronts. BTW, 1985 & up 8V and 16V boosters
are the same. I've also been advised that there is no
significant advantage to the 1985 & up booster/20mm
MC/and pedals over the pre-1985 20mm MC/booster/pedal
setup.

People think that 9.4" is small, but this is a 1900 lb
car we're talking about  :-)

Correct. A2 Golfs with drums have them in the MC.
