massbad69 10 Posted February 11, 2016 I'm glad they did a rubbish job of putting the rear bearing dust covers on... I had no end of trouble last weekend... Car looks great :) are the front pagid remanufactured calipers. I will get new dust covers as I see it now. I don't know what calipers they are to be honest as I don't pick it up til Saturday. I will find out more then, the calipers were £75 each. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davevw 0 Posted February 11, 2016 Looking good,and the best colour (I'm biased,) Can I ask where you got the rear brake backing plates from? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
massbad69 10 Posted February 11, 2016 Looking good,and the best colour (I'm biased,) Can I ask where you got the rear brake backing plates from? I bought that much that I can't remember exactly but I think they came through eBay ?? but I had a search for you on eBay and couldn't find anymore ?? When I get a chance I will try and find the receipt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

massbad69 10 Posted February 12, 2016 I tried looking on ebay feedback but as it was a few months ago you only get the item number now so it would take ages going through my purchases, copying and pasting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmalyan 11 Posted February 12, 2016 Yes, you're unable to view items older than 90 days in your feedback, unless you copy and paste the item number :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
massbad69 10 Posted February 12, 2016 Yes, you're unable to view items older than 90 days in your feedback, unless you copy and paste the item number :( Cheers Just got a call from the garage, one of the rear brake pipes is an advisory, so just getting it changed now. They are really busy though so won't get it back til next weekend now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
massbad69 10 Posted February 17, 2016 Can you get these clips anywhere ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted February 17, 2016 I got some from VW last year. 1H0609734C - £2.80 each. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
massbad69 10 Posted February 17, 2016 Thank you very much Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
massbad69 10 Posted February 17, 2016 Finally get the car back tomorrow. Think they have had an interesting time with the old bolts etc Just need to get 2 handbrake cable clips hopefully from VW, thanks to Sean above, to finish things off. Mot and coolant change tomorrow. New brake pipe fitted as it wouldn't seal ? or something like that but I will find out tomorrow. Advised to get a new Brake Compensator valve, so ordered one tonight and will get that fitted later. Git to paint the new front calipers and carriers when I get a chance and clean down all the arches at the same time. Going to drop off the spare Speedlines a week on Saturday for colour change and diamond cutting and new tyres. Then hopefully that's it for the season. I will get decent pics of the brakes etc when I'm changing the wheels and painting the bits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers and once the better weather comes we need to meet up. I'm going to be heading to Tartan Tarmacs breakfast meet n the last Sunday of every month to get the car out. I'm booked I for a few shows already and prob do a few wee meets from my FB page. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
massbad69 10 Posted February 19, 2016 So still not got the car as the fob wouldn't code to the car so had to take the spare down and will now get it back on Monday. It had the Mot yesterday with no issues and coolant change. I ordered 2 full fitting kits ( by mistake )for the rear brake compensator valve, so I will sell one set on but knew that I will need a set when the old stuff gets cut off when the valve gets changed later this year. Looking forward to getting the car back, newly refurbished wheels with new rubber back and trial fit for spacer sizes for ordering. Then getting all the arches cleaned down and waxed, wheels and spacers on and get out for some miles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
massbad69 10 Posted February 19, 2016 Lastly I will probably get the 1990's alarm system removed and a modern one installed when I have the coin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Design380 10 Posted February 19, 2016 Hi Massbad69, Could I ask what the full fitting kit comprises of for the rear brake compensator valve and where you purchased from? this is a job I'm just doing on mine, I have the new valve but will need new bolts etc. as the the old ones didn't survive!
