[urq] AP Calipers

[Martin Pajak]

Sorry guys, no spacer and no offset difference.
What actually makes the APs fit the Fuchs is the mounting holes on the caliper itself... 
Rally cars used 11" rotors while the SQ used 295mm rotors... the difference in caliper blank is what makes it possible.

I actually thought of re-drilling the caliper mounting holes to make them fit the '83 with Fuchs and 11" rotors.

BTW there is a cool pic in one of the Audi Driver specials (Black 20v) with stock 11" rotors and AP rally version calipers (with cotter pins holding the pad retainers)... that combo would make the Fuchs fit.

Cheers
