Re: Caddy R360 build thread
I know that you fitted the air vents a long time ago but did you fit anything to take up the gap between the new air vents and the existing duct work - thanks

Essentially I made a round to square adapter using some square gutter and a piece of plastic. It looks like this:

Can't wait to see the latest update! I hope you get a chance to bring it over to Dubshed (in NI) in April

Re: Caddy R360 build thread
I would love to be able to do dubshed but think its more likely to be Early Edition in May thats more realistic.

Re: Caddy R360 build thread
Well it's still in pieces and they haven't started the trimming yet so highly doubt everything that needs to be done before a show will happen in that time!

Re: Caddy R360 build thread
Thanks for the advice on the air vents - didn't think of an adaptor but it makes perfect sense square hole to round hole - how did you hold them in position ?
Slightly off topic your front brakes are off a R32 are you able to cross reference that with ones from an Audi B5-7/S4 to see if these would fit (disc size 345mm)
Thanks again

Re: Caddy R360 build thread
I decided that in order for them to work I would bond them in place. I've used a structural adhesive and think it's holding up ok. Can't remember if I squirted in a bit of surface modifier before but wouldn't hurt as dash is made from an oily plastic like polypropylene.
Front brakes are from a MK6 Golf R. No idea if B5-7 is the same. You would need to make sure the bell housing doesn't change the offset needed to clear - for example, I think the ttrs and rs3 discs are same size but different bells and so the rs3 disc won't work on the caddy.
