retrofitting 16v front brakes onto mk1
To recap all I need then is:
Front calipers
Front hubs
Pedal Cluster
Brake lines with proportioning valves
_______
You don't need any of that except the calipers. Unless your Mk 1 is so old
it has the non-kelsey hayes calipers to start with. My 81 got x-drilled
10.1s and the 16v calipers in an hour or so. Just that easy. Until I go to
rear discs I won't worry about the master cylinder, and you shouldn't put
proportioning valves, or check valves on the front brakes. Why would you
need a pedal cluster?
Maybe there is a lot more needed for pre 1980 versions, but I don't know
why.
