Apikol makes a B6 A4 bracket which may be a candidate for alteration.
The potential conflict you will encounter is the path of the bolts... see how mine are getting close... well if you widen the caliper mounting points in the pic below you might conflict if the caliper bolts are longer than the thickness of the surface the caliper sits on. However if you take the hardware I'm using and shorten it up a few mm... it could work. The brackets are threaded for the caliper retaining bolts so in short I see potential.

Interesting....thanks Phil.
We'll see what happens with the car I just bought...either I fix it and sell it, or do a 6MT conversion....its a strong Stage 2 already though....

I know, but I'm a MT guy through and through.
I track my personal cars....its just more satisfying and more involving to drive a stick for me. Rev-matching, Heel-toe downshifting...all things that an automatic trans just doesn't do. It was suggested for me to buy a DSG car, and while I like the DSG transmission and its capabilities...I just can't get over the lack of a 3rd pedal!
