I mean that the OE calipers are better than the ones that are currently available from the aftermarket. Of course I don't know exactly which calipers you now have nor what you have been offered for sale. I'll admit that I haven't bought caliper kits for a long time, but I don't think there should be any problem getting them; even JC Whitney used to carry them. Of course you can always send them to me to be rebuilt. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
