    Fosseway, not Fossewell http://www.fossewayperformance.co.uk/vw-late-bay-brake-upgrade/

    It’s difficult to tell from the pics but they probably have a similar piston area as standard so the same clamping pressure. They’re fitted with EBC Ultimax pads with 30% larger area and should work well. But for £630 plus delivery they’re not exactly a cheap upgrade.

    @Mark Bodlmeade What engine do you have?

  8. I'm pretty certain the ratchet on a pedal thing was the clutch, the rear drum adjustors were inside the drum itself - at least that was the set up on a Cortina. I can't see how the ratchet could be on the actual brake pedal as that operates the master cylinder which is hydraulic:thinking:
     
  9. recently he asked about a biigger engine 1776 or 2110cc, but hasn't posted anymore on his original post or the other post i suggested for him.

    With those brakes he should go for at least 2110cc.

    Im 2110cc, with standard brakes - non servo!

  10. Hmm maybe so. This was about 1983, but it was definitely one of the pedals.

    I just looked at Haynes. All the self adjusting mechanism on the Bays that have them seems to be inside the drum.

    I remember now. He has a 1600 and wants a ‘hotter’ engine. It’s shame he doesn’t bother to reply.

  12. Probably busy fitting them regardless of the negbombing - you don't want to do like that :)
