    Brakes

    Hi all,

    Not sure if right section so please move mod's if its wrong. A while ago I brought a gsi brake and hub setup and some alloys, I don't particularly want to fit them myself and even If I did I don't have the time... simple thing would be take it to a garage.. again I can't afford to not have my car for the day due to work commitments. I've thought about a mobile mechanic but I just don't trust them lol. Any advice or anyone that would do it for me???

    Thanks
    Matt

      I could do it Matt but as said, you need to be mobile or you'd have to wait around for it to be done or you'd need a lift back

      Ant, as you know, mk5 SRi and VXR lines are different and have a different size banjo bolt but I'd assume that the hoses are the same on the GSi as they are on the SRi so he might get away with keeping his existing lines ?

      [MENTION=3]Gairo[/MENTION] or [MENTION=46]ANT-VXR[/MENTION] Up to you 2 who does it lol, but when are either of you free to do this + how long would it take for you to do it. As for what [MENTION=5]Smiffy[/MENTION] said, I've got, hubs, discs, calipers, caliper holdings erm handbrake cable, pads...
