MK4 have the same set up with 288s as long as you use the MK3 disk. I've never seen a rusty / chrome peeling MK4 piston, I presume they are stainless?

Well I’ve now bought my second 46mm spanner to remove the crank pulley, y to he first wouldn’t stay on the pulleys hex, the second held well enough for this to happen. 30 years I’ve had that bar [sobs] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A friends cossie sold at Matthewsons on Saturday, reserve was 10k, estimate was 12.5k - 15k sold for 12.5k behind closed doors ie phone and internet bids we were due to go up there but they refused entry to all apart from viewing pre sale

Something to do with the battery maybe?
-
Agreed, they look like cups when I zoom in on my phone
-
We'd need to see yours?

I tried to get a set for my Golf VR6 back in 1999, I’ve sent emails to racing teams just in case they have some to sell..... i gave rave up a few years ago, maybe lol
-
Buyer beware, I tried to buy these 2 weeks ago, the seller said £350 needing a refurb, which puts them at £700+. Today the same wheels appeared for £220 ono with this pic Not as hard to find a spare of these as the speedlines, but that could look much better with a grind and thick powderCoat?

90% sure the cups have a larger cap. Measure your cap and ask the seller to measure the wheels
-
I can't find on, racing cars didn't have caps because they fly off. The A59 Golf prototype have black caps on?

Nope, they're different

These are old wheels now with both competition history as well as pot holed streets. A thick coat of powder hides a multitude of sins and finding someone who'll sell a single alloy to make a set is nigh on impossible. The last set I saw for sale were rough, without centre caps that are obsolete. I've been trying to buy a set for 20 years..........

I'd say they're cups, Subaru usually have an offset around 50 (ideal for VW with spacers), date is around about too

With 6 bolts and 3 dowels it’s not going anywhere, the pressure plate is also bolted up to it. I have a GnG lightened FW on the shelf. I should have the pistons out tomorrow, so far apart from the bore scoring everything looks in vgc Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rods look ok, bearings too - but they’ve got to be cleaned up yet. Piston rings are semi seized as are the fudge on pins due to my lack of activity with the car Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

With the clutch cover in place it’s located with 3 dowels and 6 bolts so shouldn’t be an issue really? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
