Hay again guys ive had the caliper to my engineer mate and he says its knackered and its never gonna come out lol So if any of u lovely people have a 280mm drivers side caliper with free a bleed nipple and hose in good condition could u please let me know. If anyone dose i could do with it sent first class next day and obviously i will pay the charge. Thanks again tom

Ill try and get a pic up of it tomorrow. It just wont come out lol We tryed everything we could to get it out we heated it up, tryed reverse drill bits, molly's and in the end the reverse drill bit snapped off in it so we just called it game over lol. So if anybody has a spare 280mm drivers one with a nice free bleed nipple lol that would be fantastic Cheers Tom

No luck at the scrappy unfortunately :(. Quite a few of the less chunky "lucus 54" so thanks for mentioning that Dox otherwise i might have got the wrong one :/.

Right thanks very much Dox. Im gonna have a nip to the scrappy anyway incase i get lucky lol, because I really want to do them this weekend lol.

Cheers Dox. The ones i have say lucus 54 on them so if i look on golfs and stuff and look for lucus 54 will it be the same? Cheers tom

Or does anybody know what other models used the same 280mm calipers so i can have a look at the scrappy? Cheers tom

As above I need a 280mm drivers side caliper ASAP lol. I started to do the 280mm conversion yesterday but unfortunately as i tryed to open the beed nipple on the os one it sheered off. So I spent all day yesterday trying to get it out with no luck (it is never coming out) So if sombody has one that they can sell me ASAP that would be fantastic. I live in prescot, Merseyside so if theres one close by i can come and get it Cheers guys Tom :)

Hi all, as the title im after a set of 280mm front calipers and carriers 4x100 pattern. I want to upgrade my 2.0 8v brakes as im planning on doing a 20vt conversion on it in the future. I also plan on getting mtec discs. As long as these will be sufficient for the 20vt?? Cheers guys Tom

Hay man yeh ive still got them and they are the Nokia oe ones

I put a VT gearbox mount on my 8v last month and it already had the front VT mount. At first after fitting the box mount the vibration was awful, everything in the car shook lol. But because I did the job on a sunday and had to drive it to work monday, I had no choice but to put up with it. Over the week driving it to work it got better so i just left it and now it still vibrates abit more than oe mounts on cold start up but once it warms up it seems ok. It dosnt vibrate when driving and dosnt when it idles once its warm. So maybe just try and let them settle and wear it abit? Hope this helps dude Tom
