Would it be a good idea to search the local junk yards for front TT brake carriers?

Seems like a good way to get cheap carriers, then order 312mm rotors from ECS or something.

The front rotors need to be replaced in the next month or so, but not in a big rush, so this is my ultra-cheapo bbk method...

Default There is a TT at my semi-local yard. I'm checking tomorrow on some other parts. I'll get

them if they are cheap. I am looking at the front seats and the shift **** for myself.

I have yet to research the seats and if they fit an A4.... I'm sure some welding/fab work will be needed. I'm only *really* worried about the seat airbags and if they swap over?

What about the steering wheel? Direct swap? This one was a front hit, so I'm sure the airbag is toast.
