Did any B2's come with rear discs?

I want to replace the drums on the rear of my B2 with discs, but suspect handbrake cables will be difficult to source..

Anyone got any advice?

2.2 coupes had rear discs, hubs are 4x 108 PCD i swaped the complete axle over in my 90 CD with no issues, if yours is an 80 you will need to redrill the hubs and discs to 4x100 PCD

Thats what I hoped. I have a rear disk kit off a 2000 Polo that I bought for my mk1 which I can fit and use coupe handbrake cables..

Easy to find. Recently bought right side cable for about 7gbp, nongenuine.

I think they are easy to find. 4X108 from 5cyl b2 90/coupe.
Fits also from b3 90/coupe and b4 coupe. Everything fits, even complete rear axle.

You can't fit disk brakes to drum rear axle plug&play.

If Mk2 is then mk4 should be. Pretty much the same thing without the seizing problems.
