Subject: GB: 5 speed bracket and VW rear disc - closing 5/28/08

I have one of each cut and everything looks good. The 5 speed bracket matches up really nice with the one I made by hand
a while back and will be sending the new cut one to a FAQ memeber today to check it out on his 02 (mine has a m42 now....)

The 5 speed mount will bolt to the stock 02 mounting points and then swing around the trans. As you can see in the picture the holes are slotted a little bit to allow for some adjustment. The mount is made from 1/4" mild steel.

The price for one mount is $40
shipping:
$5 in the US, as many as you want
$9 to Canada, under 4lbs
$11 international, under 4lbs



VW brake brackets. You will get two of these, there will be a counter sunk hole to allow clearence for the caliper.
You use jetta rear calipers with the parking brake attachment and solid rabbit front rotors.
You need to have your rear hubs turned down to work with these.
You also need to grind a little bit off the trailing arm to allow one of the bolts to thread into the caliper. This allows for a tighter clearance for 13" wheels as well as full pad contact on the rotor.

Once I get my rear hubs back I will snap some pictures of the VW bracket on a trailing arm with everything bolted on.

$65 for one pair of brackets
shipping:
$5 in the US, as many as you want
$9 to Canada, under 4lbs
$11 international, under 4lbs



If you want multiple of one or the other, email me and I will give you a price break. If you want either one you can paypal to jake AT the guestroom dot NET.

I will let this buy go for 2 weeks and then start cutting. Some may get cut before that. I plan to get some additonal ones made so I will have them on hand.
If you have any questions feel free to email.

jake

Many years work...but here are two

83 rabbit front rotors
89 jetta rear calipers with the mounting bracket used on the VW as well

I am sure there are more that work as there is cross over in the calipers. Once I get my rear hubs back I will put them all together and take some pictures of everything

How hard is the required machining? Will it be obvious once I have the brackets?

Thanks,
Colin

The machining has to be done so the rotors fit over the hubs. They need to be turned down a little bit. I should have some pictures of it bolted together later this week.

just a bump....

Been busy at work...and now have another after work/summer job so I will get some pictures of the brakes this weekend on a trailing arm.

I am going to put the order in to cut at the end/middle of next week so if you still want in please email or pay. I plan to get some more of each made but the price will be a little more. Planning on adding them to the FAQ store.

I will also give 10% of this sale back to the faq.

In my humble opinion.....

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but it seems a bit wrong. I mean, to save a few bucks and make your own, cool. But to sell them when they so closely resemble 2002haus' design? Just seems wrong.

2 things:

1) Rob no longer sells his kit to the public for a DIY install. You have to go to his shop to have it installed, so its not really an option to any of us east-coasters. (this was when I spoke with Rob 2 months ago. He recommended I buy an Aardvark kit)

2) This looks like a lot of other cantilevered brackets, nothing really that complicated about an adapter plate.

I see where you're coming from, but on a rather generic part not available in 49 states, its probably not that big of a deal.

I'd like a set of brake brackets if I'm in on time, sorry I've been out of the country since the 10th with POOR net access.

Let me know and I'll paypal right away if I got an OK.
