MK1 Brakes - Which Model Do I Pick???

Postby MK1Chris » Mon Aug 10, 2009 12:39 pm

Need to replace the rear shoes and thought I may as well replace the cylinders on the rear of my MK1, but a few web sites I have been on don't list my van.

Was also thinking of replacing front discs and pads (and sending the calipers off for a re-furb to somewhere like Bigg Red http://www.biggred.co.uk/index.html)

Mine is a 1978 (registered in 78 but built in 77) with a 2.0 V4, SWB "80" model but the options I get on most sites don't list this and the closest ones are:

74 - 78 MK1 1.6 OHV
70 - 74 MK1 2.0 V4
70 - 76 MK1 1.6 / 2.0 OHV

Need to make sure I'm ordering the right parts - can anybody give any advice or recommend a supplier who has my 78 MK1 V4 listed?

Can you post pictures of the shoes, and cylinders in detail. I have some NOS shoes here I think are MK1.
