Mk 7 rebuild begins
Posted: Fri Nov 21, 2014 3:03 pm
I'm finally starting to do a refurb on the 1975 road registered Mk 7.
It's not turned a wheel since the turn of the century/millennium, so I wasn't surprised when the calipers turned out to be seized. I can't shift the pistons using compressed air, so anticipate ruined bores and pistons.
These are Girling 2 piston units, and I'd like to know what cars were fitted with these?
The mounting holes are centred 82mm apart and the discs on the car are 262mm cross drilled and of unknown origin.
Anyone?
