really racked off

at closer inspection of front hubs whilst taking photos i noticed the difference between the "pair" of front brakes

1. i noticed the left one was year dated 89 part 20.892.00
and 88 part 20.4691.00
the right one was 85 part 20.4558.00
and 84 part 20.4557.00

2. this is what really racked me off the. left one was missing the "piston inserts"


ive tried to high light this one so you can see what "inserts" im talking about.

also the rubber seals are missing. i feel this auto dismantlers have really wasted my time and money and im going to fry them on there ebay feed back.

if some one can help me with the part numbers for this missing parts(piston inserts?), the rear hubs and the removable caliper brackets(for the rear) it would be a great help. as they are also parts left out.

Have you called the seller? They should replace the odd caliper. Those calipers have two different style pistons and seals. I went through the different seals issue before . Do a search in "brakes" for "rebuilds".

Considering we both dont live in Ipswich we sure live close lives. I've got a type 3 shifter and short shifter plate on the way.

Well guess what Aus Super. German auto dismantlers 6 months later have posted the missing items over , after Richard from V-forced got me the missing parts .

In 2 weeks im going to checker plate (diamond plate?) the front floor infront of the drivers seat up to the front fire wall. I was going to cut out the section and leave 1-2cm around the edge to silicon and pop rivot it all down. Will i loose any strength from the seat mounts?

was taking the girl to the shops, she felt like getting an ipod, why are you putting the checker plate on the floor exactly? moisture between the two could be a future issue, and seat mounts loosing strenght doubtful, not from how im picturing in my head, it wount touch the seat rails so should have no affect. still dont see why you would do it tho... other than looking neater than the stock floorpan, in my experience checkerplate or any alloy on the floor or those "racing pedals" can be abit slippery so im not a fan from what ive driven, just a thought, slipping feet can be very bad thats all.

Ive had to take the engine out to fix the rear main oil seal and replace the fly wheel o ring. I thought that this would be a good oppertunity to replace the suspect engine mounts.

yeah it looked like they needed to be replaced to.

I think the technical term was engine rests.

Red New parts just look great!
