A2 rear disc brake calipers

[jdbubb at ix.netcom.com (Dan Bubb)]

Further investigation of ETKA.
Apparently, 1990 and later A2's have a different caliper.
1989 and earlier are the same as the Scirocco.
This should be pretty simple cause the later caliper has the handbrake cable
come into the caliper from the bottom. So, if it looks the same i.e. the
e-brake comes into the top of the caliper, it is the same.
