that sounds a good idea might get the lot a bit cheaper from a breakers then....both hubs and cables..was going to fit new flexi hoses and replace my rear metal pipe as one on the van so i will have good brakes..
are mk7 front brakes any bigger than mk6? as thats another possibe as well or will just fit grooved and drilled discs when i get to that

Managed to win a rear axle for £150 80 miles away and comes with springs and handbrake cables.basically its a undo my old springs and roll springs and axle out then roll in new axle and bolt in place... replacement axle is in good condition as well..

Done this to mine a couple of years ago, there may be a pic of what i done with the abs in my signature link below...

I had to spot weld the mk6 abs rings on the back of the mk7 disc if i remember right, and adapted the mk6 sensors to fit the hub,,, worked first time too.
