vw rallye/syncro 280mm big rear brake conversion

[boner]

hi all well workshop finally finished !!! phew that was a mare

im moving back in this week and the rear beam billet mounts
will be available in 10 days or so

will post pics and thread soon

by the way i get asked alot if these will work with anything from a mk1 golf rear to a audi tt ???!!

this thread is for the syncro std or converted rear trailing arms many thanks



thanks

it's been a while now, any news on these? i drilled my passat ones to fit on my mk3 but i really don't like the way they poke out front. a pretty big moment arm once i add the secondary braket on top of that. i COULD weld some extra mounting points to the frame rail but I REALLY hate overhead welding

[efritsch]

I dunno. He said he had one set left in a pm to me and I replied with a question about price and where I lived and have heard nothing since.

hi all im nearly there with these rear beam adapters
i finished solidwork drawing just waiting for some metal stock to come in
thats what i have been waiting for

will post pics soon

i do have 1 pair of OEM mounts these are posted in for sale section

[efritsch]

So do have the rear brake adapters or not?

[turbowahnstefan]

for efritsch: bam has 1 set left for sale. I have got 5 sets for sale. Contact one of us via pm an we'll see, what we can do. right now bam builds the rear axle adaptors and that is what he posts about.

I got a set of these on my car when I got it, is there any of these that have the whole pad on the disc? Mine wear out except for about the top 1/4" or so which creates a huge lip on the top of both pads...

[JamesS]

Does anyone know what wheels the big brakes will fit under? I have audi tt rear brakes but plan on running 16x9 et15 on 4x100 and don't want spacers. I think it would fit but not 100% sure.

[-RalleyTuned-]

I have compomotive 16x7's but I has to grind the caliper a fair amount to get them on...

[turbowahnstefan]

it depends on how your wheel looks inside. I use the adaptors under porsche rims-no problems, oem cupra rims-no problems, 3 piece modernlines and bbs rs-no problems. They fit under most 16 inch rims, bu not under all, that's true. i could measure it out if you give me the inner diameter of the rims, you want to use.

sortted

[JamesS]

WHERE IS MY REAR MOUNT........................................WHERE IS MY 60 QUID...............................YOU ARE A THIEF ...............YOU DO NOT REPLY TO MY MESSAGES OR EMAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVERYONE THIS GUY IS A thief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!111

Bam20v? He has $500 of mine and has disappeared.

[rudeboydubs]

finally sorted!!

[JamesS]

Luckily I didn't send it as a gift. He tried to persuade me to do it that way. Im still not sure if he outright tried to scam me or if he is just MIA.

[efritsch]

That is a shame. I really wanted to upgrade to bigger rear brakes.

Well, I know a guy that works at a machine shop, so maybe I'll see what we can come up with. Although my plan is to run a set of bigger rear brakes under the stock 15" rims.

[rudeboydubs]

All sorted now i have my parts ....bam20v is not a scammer..just a little unorganised

[JamesS]

I got a paypal refund, but I don't know whether they were shipped like he said or what...

He isn't a scammer but his lack of communication isn't cool, would not do business with him again just due to the uncertainty.

Brake caliper adaptors still available from Germany;-)

And dealing with Wilco@Dutchbuild , I am going to start making my own Syncro kits. This industry is filled with people with some serious commitment issues.

[JamesS]

Wow, I can't believe this guy. He tried to make me send the money as a gift and used Issam as a reference. Luckily I didn't.

[-RalleyTuned-]

I would gladly sell my kit to anyone that would trade partially for some smaller brakes that will bolt on

In Paul's defense he has been great to deal with over the last year or so. Not sure what happened between June and now but it certainly does not fit how we do business.

[raddo]

I was going to buy these next week, guess I'm going to reconsider that purchase

I was giving him the benefit of the doubt, but now that it has come out that he has done this before it really pisses me off. I would never trust him, and he has definitely set back my progress a couple months.

You and a few others. Not making excuses for him but I am in the same boat you were in 2 months ago. As of October 23rd I was promised I would "get back my money" but I am still waiting. Slowly though chipping away at that scammers block. At least 2 other companies are offering the dutchbuild Haldex conversion kit which is satisfying enough for me.

What companies are these?

[Issam Abed]

What companies are these?

HR engineering and another German company. I will get the names when I am in the office on Monday. If I can find a new Syncro rear arm I can draw up the plates needed and supply a .DXF file any water jet facility.
