[urq] No parking brake has led to recommendation to G60 conversion.

[isct0 at netscape.net]

I took just acquired urq project car to a quattro shop.  The parking brake doesn't work because the mechanisms at the rear calipers are frozen.  I had checked ETKA and saw a lot of NLA for many parts.  Shop is thinking urq rear calipers will be to costly.  The left front brake was dragging and the wheel was warm after a 20 mile drive.   So the shop is recommending a G60 conversion for all 4 wheels as a cheap way out.  About $900.  This would be for new calipers, rotors pads and labor plus having working emergency brake.   I'll try to get my old F&R calipers returned - as who knows maybe someday they can be rebuilt.  

Sound good? steve
