Rear Brake Questions (again)

OK, I poasted some pictures on my profile of two extra caliper and carrier sets (rear) that I have cleand up and Primed 4 painting. I figure it will be east that way as I can just swap them quick time. There is an major issue that I need help with however. The rear left (drivers) caliper and roter are the correct part and will fit. The possiable problem is with thr rear right set(passenger side). The carrier is from a 1988 B3 90 (my car is a 1993 B4 90) and the caliper is from the rear right of some Passat I saw at the scrappers. The carrier seems to be a exact match and the caliper looks good to me except for the bleeder screw and brake line input are in diff places? (see the pics, as im shure they will explaine much better) will the rear right set fit???

Rear caliper carriers are shared w/ TONS of VW/Audi models. Not too sure about the caliper though!

next time try and get them off the same car...

first, you are wasting your time by not rebuilding them

second, one would *THINK* you would get 2 of the correct caliper...cant think of any reason WHY you would have picked TWO different models to pull calipers off of...

third, i hope thats high temp primer...and why are you using primer??

last, i would try and find another caliper that SOMEWHAT resembles your OEM part...

Your spun man

They are a right and a left caliper and as far as find another caliper that SOMEWHAT resembles the original part...THEY ARE EXACTLEY THE SAME. so I *THINK* (see previous post) that you should get your shi* straight before you try to kick your knowledge at me, dumbass!!
