Okay for this conversion what you need is:
2 VB-VP Commodore Calipers
2 Manga 278mm Vented Rotors (undrilled, dba supply these)
2 Rings made up (difference between mk1 disc ID and magna disc ID, about 3mm)
4 Washers made up (to space caliper for right offset, apparently the washers from the seat belt bolts work)
2 Brake lines to suit commodore brake fitting and golf line fitting (same as for camira conversion)
4x 8mm-10mm shoulder bolts, or 4 bushes with 10mm OD and 8mm ID (commodore caliper has bigger bolt holes)
Here are the parts laid out:
As you can see i have had the discs drilled to 4x100 pcd, and there is a copper ring in the disc, so that it fits up on the hub nicely
The washers you need are about 4mm thick, i will measure and edit this post very shortly with size.
Here are the bushes:
The commodore caliper runs 10mm bolts, so you can either get a shoulder bolt which will have 10mm od with 8mm thread or get bushes made up, i had these in the camira stuff that came with the car.
Washers/spacers:
I had these spacers made up, washers is an option, but i felt safer with a larger surface area to work with (will post sizes!)
Final:
And that is how the caliper fits up!!
Brake lines:
Not a good picture, but you will need a joiner from this fitting to the brake, pirtek or someone like that could knock em up for you.
That is all i can realy think of at the moment, quite an easy conversion, they stop so bloody hard, i recomend that you run genuine vw brake light switches off the master cyliner, or piss it off and run a pedal switch. My dad is always killing switches on his road car.

Magna discs could be a bit harder to source. Anyway, our knowledge base is growing.
