Look at your Bentley manual, Chapter 2, fig. 7-9 for a good picture of what this cutout should look like. This photo is right side up, so you should see exactly the same orientation of the cutouts if you look in your calipers. [The cutouts in the pistons on the other side are mirror image of this: All 4 cutouts should face down and a bit forward.] Later replacement calipers don't have the cutouts at all. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
