It's finally Ursula's turn to get the rear disc brakes mounted this Friday,
I took some pictures of how the parts are mounted, and two of how my cousin
mounted the emergency brake cables on his van. I might do something a
little different for that. Here's a list of the ingredients:
2- Eurovan rear rotors, brand new, of course.
2- Mk4 rear calipers, used with new seals, including e-brake cables and
brake lihes.
2- new braided brake hoses from GW (I already have the front ones installed
with big brake kit)
2- >'98 Passat rear caliiper carriers (Jetta/Golf won't fit)
2- home made aluminum caliper mount adapters.

Can't wait to try the four wheel disc brakes in my van, I love stopping
power and the safety that comes with it.
