Used Audi 75-83 [or so and various models], 5000 turbo rear brakes. Need a new hub to mount them. Some brakes are available that fit on the existing hub though. The Audi's have the parking brake setup but according to the guy who actually did the work on my van hooking them up was difficult. Partly because my existing cables were shot and he needed to run all new ones. With the dual pot G60s up front I no longer worry about running out of brakes, which I had done a couple of times before in a 2 wd Westy. This is on a country homes top, west interior syncro. Mike
