Brakes / ISV

[Jeremy R King <kingjer@eng.auburn.edu>]

Just ordered a heap of stuff for my Quantum - paying long overdue
sacrifices.  BJ had a bright idea while looking at prices on drums for the
rear of my car.  He checked some part numbers and had me double-check.
Seems the rear DISC brake setup for the Jetta's and Golf's is a DIRECT
BOLT ON in place of my current rear drums.  I'm getting his "kit" and
putting it on my Quantum in the next week or so.  Is this too good to be
true?  Is the line pressure to the rear enough to push calipers?  I'll
have to figure out something for the parking brake.  Anything else I need
to be aware of?  Anybody ever done this?  If it works, it will also work
on the 4ks and the non-turbo Coupe GT.  

Secondly, I have an Idle Stabilizer Valve lying around (used and grungy,
but works).  I'm not sure what motor it's off of (it was mistakingly put
on my I5) but I think it's a 1.8l.  It has two prongs and the PN is
	035 133 455 F
Anybody want it?  Free.  I'll even pay shipping.  Just hate to have it
lying around and don't want to throw it away.
