Gaz W's rear brakes question

[GAZ W]

Neil

what is the rear brake set up on your MKII (i know its a disc brake set up) but what is it made up of?

[RS2000CUSTOM]

Well mine is

Peugeot 405 rear disc

Rallye Design ally bracket

Sierra non vented calipers

xr4x4 handbrake cable

Mintex 1144 pads

Dont need to tell you Gaz how well my brakes work now do I ?

Oh and you will need an inline bias valve to turn rear brakes down !

Would that be the Double Head Over Cam ?

I have found them on the mainland or over there LOL for £25 each 2nd hand best I can get ?

but how much are the brackers for them and do you need the original carrier brackets Dave ?

do the 405 disks fit straight on or do they need turned down a bit, are they the ones from a 88-96 1.8 1.9 ?

Cheers

Brackets from RD are £70 (nice bit of kit though)

You will need caliper carrier bracket

405 disc supplied by RD does not need machining but flange on halfshaft needs to be turned down apprx 1mm

And you will need to fit longer rear wheel studs

Thats about it realy
