    where did you get that kit from?

    Ive brought 2 of these kits over the last year for my mk1s, both off of ebay always best to do a little searching first sometimes its cheaper from USA even with a high postage cost.

    That kit in the link i posted comes with the correct fittings for a direct bolt on , the only extra i brought was a thread sealant being a cheap kit i was worried about it leaking. I haven't had a leak yet the old diesel puts out some vibrations so its a good test.
