Does anyone know of a > good source for this part? Assuming the calipers on your car are the originals, or good VW replacement parts, I prefer to see them rebuilt. The replacements available today are not of the same quality as the originals. If you don't care to rebuild them yourself, I can rebuild them for you. I charge $45 per caliper, plus shipping, but it will take me a couple of weeks to do the work. If you're not already set up to do this, getting old rusty calipers apart can be quite "challenging." -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
