Well folks, after all the hassle and ordering two new calipers from Overland, guess what? The 'Big Brake' kit has the same size caliper pistons as a stock standard '86-'91 Vanagon. Yep, the stock '86-'91 Vanagon caliper rebuild kit should work just fine. BTW, the Audi A6 calipers use SMALLER pistons, 57mm vs. 59mm. This customer decided to go ahead and take the new calipers since his old ones were so toasted from the extreme heat they were subjected to. Next time we'll all know!
