Lude Generation

I want one.

Anyone have any smart ideas on how to fab one up? Is there place on the drivers shock tower to easily attach one to?

No no and no.

Best you getting cracking merlin!

Someyhing nafe could design and get made up?

How much difference do these actually make? ..and are they only good because Honda used jobby-steel for the 4th gens, or do all cars suffer this?

Am I the only person that remembers a group buy of sorts on these?
Was it on PUK, or maybe even Honda Revs??

EDIT: It was PUK, and it was Pete, AKA @toyracer69

It was PUK. I got one.


All cars suffer from it. I have one fitted to my 5th gen and while it is not perfect it does improve brake feel. It probably improves initial brake performance too (by a smidge).

I would like something a bit more heavy duty then the 5th gen PUK brake stopper.

Sorry yep, realised you meant 4th gen when it was too late.

I had one on my ek9. Really did make the brakes feel more solid.

My mk2 Scirocco had a reinforced plate welded over where the clutch cable mounted to the bulkhead, as over time the original metal had sheared and the cable come free. The bulkhead isn't very thick on most cars (at least cars of that era, I can't comment on brand new cars) so there's going to be some flex in the material.

This reminds me. I need to fit my 5th gen brake stopper From that group buy.

About 4 years after you bought it?
