Hi Colm, Just some info for you. My (83) golf, originally a 1.6 diesel, Opel Vectra (97 type) front calipers bolt straight on with a bushing, simply, Opel use M14's and VW use M12. so you gota take up the slack in the carrier hole. Use Mk2 golf 16V disk's and 14" wheels are a must. My 79 Scirocco has the same setup, just bolts straight on. Use a caddy master cylinder (bigger bore)available from you local motor factor, all nice and cheap. I am not sure why you would need scirocco 16V carriers/hubs. Most of the forum's say you do, maybe the golf diesel (mk1) are the same, My scirocco is an 8v GLS.

Bet your confused now.

Pat.
