[flap]

Don't know if you can get new ones, I got mine from a breakers yard cost 20 quid.

hi flap did u have to get your calipers reconditioned or were they ok

Mouse tried his local VW main dealer for the rubbers on the sliders, (mine were perished). They told him they weren't available seperately, only as part of a complete slider/hanger assembly. 62 quid each plus VAT.
Biggred recondition calipers & may well be able to sell you a recon pair. They supplied a complete caliper rubber kit for mine for 20 quid.

I was watching a complete new pair of calipers & sliders on Ebay last week. Started at 50 quid & ended at over 100.

York was great thanks.  Could've stayed a few more days if we'd had time.
O.K, so that's you, Madron & FLC we have to visit when we go back!
We're still looking for a set of Golf calipers for Taz's trike so will probably end up trying the local scrappys.
