does the sierra handbrake work with these?

many thanks

No idea!

Why not ask Rally Design?

They are made for a VW Gold MK4 handbrake cable- dunno if the sierra one works.

Probably like me he's sceptical about asking the supplier if their product works!

Seriously I'd like to know as I want to replace the Sierra lumps on mine. Wasn't it the Wilwoods which don't exactly work that well? The Hi Spec calipers look rather appealing too but at £170+VAt each!

I spoke with Rally Design earlier this year and they do not think the Golf calipers will fit a sierra rear end assy without so extensive mods. They recommended the Wilwood kit but they did say that hand brake effort was a little low. I think a number of people have used them though.

They work with the Golf handbrake because they are Golf callipers. Also found on various other VW, Audi and Seat cars.

Has anyone tried these yet from Marlin???

i think you might find that those marlin calipers are exactly the same as the willwood ones, i have them on the rear of mine and look exactly the same

edit: actually looking closer, the mechanism is very very similar but the willwood leavers are recessed into the housing not just 2 plates either side.
