Goodridge hoses mk2-mk4 conversion set part no-SVW0506-2P
-
Is there any new updates yet ?
-
Yes they fit standard carriers,

if you take the black rims off carefully ,its one nut on the back of the guage,then the instrument just pulls out of the pod, carefully rub down the needle with 1200 grit paper, mask up and spray the needle. I did mine in white, and replaced the rims with some chrome ones i had laying about. I will post some pics tomorrow.

Theres no difference between VR6 & 16v calipers, only the discs (5 stud opposed to 4 stud) all the same size

Yes it will,even your handbrake cable fits, dont buy it though, its expensive, i bought new mk4 calipers of e-bay, for about £90 goodridge do a hose conversion, i think that was about £30 calipers just fit straight onto your carriers,if you search the subject theres a thread on here here it is-http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=72885

I did a dash swap this morning, grey to black, took me 6 hours,nothing difficult, but as our learned friends prior to this post says- time consuming ! I must have done something right, as i have NO cuts or abrasions on my hands, no i havent got "girlie" hands and iam not double jointed ! take the dash out, its a really good learning curve
-
The last screen i had put in (by the RAC) I wasnt happy with, shoddy work is an understatement, anyway made them change it, and yes they broke it getting it out !Cut a long story short i had 3 screens put in till they got it right ! THREE screens they broke !! Chances are yours will get broke, unless you have more competent fitters near you

replacement of broken seat pull-forward levers
dragon green replied to RichieSounds's topic in Interior
mine snapped like yours have, the best way to do it is take the seat covering off, either replace it,or weld an extension onto your broken lug, If i was you id try glueing it on first, and seeing how it holds !! -
replacement of broken seat pull-forward levers

mine done the same thing !made some aluminum ones,longer then the originals, glued them in place been there 3 years now, -
i have an aftermarket rad on my valver, had it about five years, havent noticed any difference in heat. Have a look at your waterpump, they have been known to fail. ! Also check your timing, if its been tuned,/cammed it could be out enough to make it run hotter. Good luck

thank you, when it comes to valvers, you are the man :notworthy:
