That looks good!





What is the bracket arrangement going behind the disc then?

996 rear caliper and Brembo handbrake caliper

Well....I got the Avant handbrake cable (thanks andyg plym) and have modified it to fit. I have taken 100mm of cable outer sheath from the standard Avant cable, leaving the cable untouched, in order to expose enough cable to run round the pulley wheel. So here is the result on my Coupe: -

I daresay the same solution can be sorted for the Avant.

The carriers are from a B6/B7 S4 V8 I run them on my avant.

[audinut]

I have the part no for these carriers but tps are after 90 + vat per carrier !! which is more than the calipers cost ! can anyone tell me what Audi's excatly run these carriers?

i think the part no is 8E0 615 425B

Cable

Hi Neo,

Love the Team Irry website...very wacky (bit like me!)

Anyway...hope to have an Avant cable in my hands in the next couple of weeks.......so will let you know how much length we have to play with. I'm aiming for 996 rear calipers with a separate Brembo handbrake caliper...... But that'd be telling......no i will write it all up when it works

Cheers,

JB

Whatever you find here or somewhere else, please post it in detail here since I'm curious about the same. Cable length is the final piece of my puzzle and I would like something that fits bolt on but that is 10cm longer then Coupé original.

Cheers

Fellas...

I need some advice on the length of the Avant handbrake cable versus the Coupe version. It would seem to be longer as it goes to the rear of the hub for a "vertical" pull of the caliper, whereas the Coupe version routes in front of the hub for a "horizontal" pull of the caliper.

I appreciate that other things on the cable may be vastly different to the Coupe for heat shielding and so on but I'm looking for a solution for a separate handbrake caliper mounted at the rear of the hub on a Coupe (with a 996 rear caliper up front).....more to report later!

Any help gratefully received.

Cheers

Bilko,

Don't forget to mention it is a Coupe, as the rear brakes I think are different between a Coupe and an Avant.

This thread is about Avants' rear brakes, and I think there is one specifically about Coupes.

Kind regards.

Hello,
the rear RS6 brake system can not fit plug and play on the s2 rear axle.
The 335mm disc are to big and the height from the hub doesn´t match.
The 330mm disc from the S5 are possible, but the problem with the height from the Hub is the same.

the salles man say me that they are 270mm
well I just say to him if the kir is from a S6 or something.

THANKS!!!
