Can we get an update?

Aww yeah, just scored a set! In for the adapters as soon as they're available.
If anyone else is in the Puget Sound area, the '05 that showed up at Tacoma Pick n Pull yesterday has now been raided lol.
Just scored a set from a 2006 V8 Touareg today!For anyone who is trolling the junkyard for these, make sure you have 1/2" tools. This is what happened to my favorite 3/8" gearwrench ratchet:
two 21mm bolts hold each one in, and I'm not sure what size the brake line is (i used a small crescent wrench). I also snipped the brake pad sensor since I didn't want them to charge extra for that and I know I wouldn't use it.
$50 out the door, thank you Pick-n-Pull!
Can't wait till you're done with these, Neal
Brake line was 11mm. And holy hell those 21mm bolts were insanely tight. I have a Ryobi 300 ft/lb impact gun and it did nothing to them. Nearly broke my 1/2" ratchet, too. I recommend a breaker bar with a very long tube to slide over it. Thanks for the heads-up on these btw.
