No Rabbits in the list because Rabbit was only a
term used in the United States and Canada. The Rabbit was the Mk1 Golf.
It had Girling brakes.
Although, 1979 was the first year of US
production of the Rabbit at the Westmoreland
plant, but I'm sure 1979 was a mixed production year.

This is the first entry on the page. The
information is all metric. Maybe they did
things in inches in the '70s, but Girling is
metric now. So I sure if you bought a replacement the part would be metric.

3..I once had a Canadian spec VW Rabbit - 1979
and made in Germany. The front disc brake
rotor had stamped on it its diameter in
inches. Now it could be because this part
could have been made in the UK or even the US, but unlikely.
I wouldn't think that was unlikely. It was
probably made by Girling in the UK. Girlings
have been common for decades on Volkswagens and
Audis. My Peugeot 405 Mi16 also had Girlings on it.
