Riot rear calipers
Afternoon all, can someone tell me what calipers I need to purchase for the rear of my Riot, been told they are fiesta front hubs on the rear so can I
use the fiesta calipers with a restrictor in the line. Also read the mk4 golf rears might also fit.thanks Sam
Also looking for a carbon dash does,anyone know of any that fit please?

hi
think this depends on what rear uprights you've got, the earlier riots used a modified fiesta front upright and sierra callipers where the later
cars used a sylva fabricated upright like this:
if you've got the fabricated uprights, they are designed for a vw caliper used on lots of golfs, passats, etc but this can give problems with
clearance for handbrake cable and brake hose. the original recommended parts were these generic versions,
https://www.compbrake.com/product/rear-caliper-with-built-in-handbrake-comp-r2/, but the handbrake cable is on the top and the hose fitting
is on the front close to the driveshaft rubber boot. There are a few build blogs around for the sylva J15 which shares most parts with the riot
describing this problem, such as: http://sylvabuild.blogspot.com/2013/05/revisit-rear-brake-banjo-clearance.html.
i used a golf mk4 rear caliper which puts the hose at the top and the handbrake cable at the bottom which seems to make fitting easier together with a
caliper bracket from a passat. its a nice light aluminium caliper with handbrake mechanism but will not fit in 13" wheels and is tight in
14" (i had to remove a small amount of material from the ribs where the balance weights were close.
these look to be the same as i used:

these are the brake discs to match (for the fabricated uprights), QH ref BDC3611:

here's my final installation (on a J15 but fundamentally the same)
if you've got the earlier uprights i do have a pair of sierra callipers (i think) if you want them.
i've also got pdf copies of the original and later riot build manuals if you don't already have them
hope that helps
