MORE UrQ Brake conversion ??'s

[John Corbishley]

Jon:

I had the same problem on the Rears of my '83.  The '85 was upgraded to a
caliper that it shares with a number of other vehicles, at least the later
4kQs.  Some of the other guys will know what else.  You will also have to
change to the later cable which is often the initial source of the problem.
There is also another alternative which is to go to the V8 rears.  This also
involves changing the rotors.  Some of the parts are common to the 200
Avants but not all.  These were the rears used on the RR Ur-Qs, the final
iteration with the 20v engine.
