Which model and year VW's use the same front brake calipers we do? 411? Ghia? Trying to put together a one-off 205mm pattern system.

Thanks!

arouns 70-71 Type III are the same. They changed the bolt spacing in the later years I think. I wish I had some of the narrow pattern, That is what the disc brake kits for VWs are using. My 71 Type III's calipers would fit, I tried. On the high side, I now have 4 extra calipers for the 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
