gradeAfailure 0 Posted June 14, 2006 Right, to bring this back rather than start a new thread ;) - can the mk4 288mm calipers be used with the mk3 golf 288mm carriers? if so, are spacer washers needed, or is this only if you use the mk4 288mm carriers? basically, for 288mm brakes: mk4 calipers + mk3 carriers + mk3 discs = no spacers needed/not possible? mk4 calipers + mk4 carriers + mk3 discs = spacers needed? mk3 calipers + mk3 carriers + mk3 discs = no spacers needed, obviously is that right?

dinkus 10 Posted June 14, 2006 The Mk3 and Mk4 288 and 312mm callipers are the same size and take the same size pads. The thread on the banjo bolts seems to vary but seems to be the 288s have coarse thread, the 312s have fine thread. Mk3 carriers + Mk4 callipers + Mk3 disks should = no spacers Similarly, I'm fairly sure you can use Mk4 disks with no spacers too... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NottsCounty 0 Posted August 21, 2006 HI Guys, To ressurect an old thread, I am about to start this little project any day now. I currently have 288 Mk3 discs, MK4 Calipers, MK4 Carriers, MK4 Hoses. My questions a) do i need a conversion kit for the front hoses or can I use the MK4's and b) I can't think of at the moment!! Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Niges16V 0 Posted August 24, 2006 You'll need the MkII > MkIV conversion hoses (std male connection to fine thread banjo) and I also believe you will also need MkIII carriers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
