  1. hi m8 just need a little help from you ive got a obd1 and it has the 280mm brake setup and i need to know what brake hoses i can use the brakes where off a mk4 golf v6 4 motion i don't think i can use these hoses you can use the mk4 hoses i think? you need the banjo style which is what the mk4 has and the obd2 mk3s. as for the bolts. you can use the original bolts but with the spacer obviously not as much thread is catching so its up to yourselves if you want to do that but ive heard of people running it with no problem
  2. just an m12 thread if i remember right? my dads an engineer so he got them for me no problem but search for your nearest fastening supplier?
  3. dont be mental paying $100 for those plates! i made mine myself from 6mm plate of steel i picked up from a welders place, measure the carrier up to it, drew a few lines and cut and drilled away! its easy!
  4. i dont know how many times it needs to be said 15 INCH WHEELS WILL NOT WORK!!! spacing the wheels wont work either, the simple fact is the disc and caliper are too big to fit inside a huge majority of 15inch wheels. FACTORY 15" WHEELS WILL NOT WORK
  5. read the original post. but in short NO they will not fit. general rule of thumb is you need 16" wheels or bigger, i know some 15s do fit but the majority dont.
  6. i got them from my dads work, but any engineering type place will sell them. I put in an old bolt by mistake when putting them back together and it was only a couple threads short, you could maybe use them but people on here said to use longer ones, so i did. when asking for the new bolts remember and ask for high tensile ones. cheap bolts might snap or bend, remember these bolts basically take all the weight of your car stopping when you hit the brakes so id make sure they are good quality
  7. cheers guys, The problem i had with the guides already here were some parts were unclear and it didnt help that the pictures were'nt hosted anymore. would be nice to see it moved to the knowledge vault as there is nothing in it so far on this.
  8. First off, Im not trying to piss on any previous DIY guides been done before by users of this forum, Just i found as a total new to 312mm setup i found it hard getting the answers to certain questions regarding the conversion and pictures from the old threads were no longer hosted. I did a bit of asking around to get my answers and made this guide so anybody in the future wanting to do the conversion can see this thread when they search the forum to answer any questions. Fairly simpe swap and this is how i did it. Parts needed: -312mm discs from an audi tt / skoda octavia vRS and some mk4s (T
