Para 82 2 Cars Posted November 19, 2008 Hi again I am about to order set of Mintex shoe for my 1.6 GTI, on the websites it gaves me two choices , Bendix (32mm) and Lucas 40mm , which one should i go for ? Is there is a chance to check which one i have without taking them out from the car ? Can we recognise them by a year or Vin numbers ?? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted November 19, 2008 gti's use 40mm wide shoes/drums Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RossD 44 Posted November 19, 2008 Indeed, the 32mm shoes are for the base models. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Para 82 2 Cars Posted November 19, 2008 Aha so Mintex website tells that wrong, it says that there is two types for 1.6 GTI. I will order the one 40mm , thanks a lot ! It's great help here on the forum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VisaGTi16v 1 Posted November 19, 2008 Hmm wonder which ones are on the back of the Visa, possibly the narrower ones as I know the stub axle is shorter from someone that tried to fit 205 rear discs on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) all 205 drum stubs are the same regardless of the width of the drum :)m (disc stubs are longer) Edited November 19, 2008 by welshpug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
