Seems like a natural guess especially since T3's roll out of an Audi assembly plant in RSA. Note that the 5-cyl Caravelle engines suspiciously have the same bellhousing bolt pattern as Audi rather than common VW. Same was done to 924/944/968 engines. They are assembled by Audi too. The newer crop of single piston BBK's coming out of Overland are also sourced from Audi, I suspect. Slightly larger discs (288mm IIRC vs. earlier 276mm) suggests newer models than 5000/200. Likely A6 or A4. Haven't had a need to experiment. I got lucky testing Mercedes ML320-350 discs for the Syncro 16" application which needs a larger rotor. ML discs are 303mm. Later I realized I could have stayed w/ 312mm VAG discs.😒

The Audi 5000/200 brakes just happens to be compatible. There is a very slight difference in diameter. > > > BenT > sent from my electronic leash > > |
