[QUOTE="Bundy, post: 646964, member: 13152"] The original Red9 kit I had was ok, but the handbrake on their billet calipers is not strong enough for a heavy bus and I ended up fitting a line-lock to the rear brakes to hold mine on a hill. I eventually removed the billet calipers and made a home brew kit with golf rear calipers and what I already had. I can't remember which Mk carriers I used in the end unfortunately, but a couple of spacers (washers) to get it all straight and it was fine, plus the handbrake mechanism much more willing to hold it! As I no longer have the bus I can't take pics...if I find any I'll post them. I have some nice little billet calipers if someone wants to buy them 🤣 [/QUOTE]
