Hi Paul
Have you got any further with the trike, also would you have a link to where you got your rear calipers from also the hand brake cables

Hi Merv
I have been laid up with a horrible head cold for the last week, so no progress on the trike.
I only have the rear mudguards and wiring to rear lights to complete.
The calipers I have had that long that I can't remember much about them. I had them refurbished. painted and boxed up and put in storage.
I believe they are off a Passat, rather than a golf. The links to handbrake cables and flexible hoses were via ebay, but having checked, they have gone now.
I know, under normal circumstances, Passat cables are a lot more expensive than golfs.
You may be better looking at all golf parts, callipers, brackets, cables. Could be more cost effective for you. I was just lucky at the time I needed cable etc.

Yes took the advice of the good fellow monkeys on here. Was advised the original cylinder would be unlikely to serve VW calipers. Also spoke to a very helpful guy at www.carbuildersolutions.com about rating for replacement cylinder, he suggested 3/4", and works very well. Good web site and catalogue available (always like pictures), lots of useful tips and hints in there too. I used the original Honda reservoir and seems to work well. |

I had carriers with the calipers, one was correct the other the wrong type.
I got a new one of ebay, no longer able to access info that far back.
Think it was from a MK4 golf.
