UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Would anyone be intrested in some brackets that elimate the need for the g60 caliper brackets (think there £200 from vw?)
Well a friend of mine who runs a machine shop helped me make up some for mine 2day (and anodise them red
Now he has all the dimensions and the program saved on his cnc mechine he told me he could run off some sets of them for any1 else who wanted them?

Obverisoly the more he makes the cheeper they get as the most time is in setting up the mechine and useing the tank for anodising!
However he said a rough price for a small run (say 5 sets) would be £60-£70 a set (with everything u need bar new disks and pads 2 fit the larger 280m disks 2 a gti!)

Anyway if your intrested get your names up!

Are these carriers? Sorry I have heard many names for these



^golden brackets?

its confusing 2 explane mate so bare with me!
that pic looks 2 me 2 be a stock g60 setup. However the polo gti use the same caliper and hub just with a smaller disk and different caliper bracket (the gold bit in you pic!)

the parts ive had made replaces nothing thats there it just spaces out the gti caliper and carriar so that u can use the 280m g60 disk!

Its rearly commen in the ford world 2 do what im doing as fords (god bless em) use alot of the same parts on alot of differnt models! so with a new bracket or 2 u can bump up the size of your disks!

sadly for vw people but good for polo people is that it the same with the golf/ corrado g60 and 6n2 polos!

Ah I got you sorry

Sounds interesting....

What material are the adapters.... do you have any photos?

same here..........

There made out of hardened alloy!
same as what the calipers/caliper brackets are made out of!
nope sorry dont have anypics as i left mine there 2 be anodised and so he could make more!
but 2 be honnest they work so does it matter what they look like??? lol


need 2 let him know bye the end of next week so he can make them over the weekend! as my mates are waiting for theres so dont want 2 make them wait 2 long!

how much do you reckon postage would be? i could be interested. you got any links to a good disc and pad set up aswell?
thanks

The calipers and carriers are not alloy.... I think you will find they are steel.... hence the rust on the older ones....

Would be good to see some pics of the finished items before and after fitting

you got these on your car yet mate ? would like to see piccies if so ...good idea imo and if a few people would go for it then i deffonatly would
