Post by: DIZZY on October 18, 2009, 08:17:55 PM
Can any one tell me a place to get new seals/rubber gaiters for caliper pistons golf mk2 rears as ive been cleanin up an old set today and ruined the gaiters takin out the pistons.
Also,when i get to it ,should i use full size original golf handbrake cables or some thin else?

Speedycables are also listed in the links section, Mr M uses them to make up shorter versions of the golf cables. Depending on where your mounting the lever, you may find the O.E. cables to long.
