Need B5 rear brakes, ASAP, have any spares?

[PRY4SNO]

Got into my 4x108-->5x112 hub swap, and on the rears it seems the offset is way off due to different rotor hat depth from b3-->b5.

Using rear b5 hubs, so either a4 or s4 parts would work.

Does anyone have any rear caliper brackets and calipers kicking around?

Need to know asap, anyone who can pull through will certainly be compensated for their help.

Cheers!

What about rear A6 brakes, same as the S4, but the disc is solid not vented

Have a line on rotors and pads, mostly just need the calipers and carrier brackets.

Although, if you have a complete A6 set up I'm game

Dont have any kicking around but I can get it.

But by the looks of it the s4 and a4 calipers and carriers are different

Thanks to Mike and Stefan for coming through with the local help-out. Now I can add calipers and dust shields, possibly caliper brackets to the pads and rotors previously sourced.

Hm. I'll see what develops with these local parts on Tuesday and let you know if I need a hand. Thanks for the offer!

Do you have an ETKA diagram that shows the brackets, or is it just a part number that's slightly different? Would love to know the PNs if you have them handy.

The A4 carriers should be similar to the A6 carriers, the S4 carrier accounts for the vented/slightly larger disc

Does this seem right?

I found a part number off vagcat for b5s4 rear calipers, and an ebay listing cross-referenced the same PN on a b5 Passat...

Does this deepen my search field?

Found these rears on vortex, a guy was building a b5 and switched to b6 so I cash-in big time!

Total cost (used off VWVortex) shipped 4-5 day International via USPS ~ = to cost + shipping/duty of one new bracket from ECS.

Shokan wanted a core charge of $35 each, and still managed to be twice the cost!
