Porsche 5 lug patern on type 3 drums??

<< < (2/7) > >>

Bruce:
Plenty of guys have done it that way with no problems.  It may seem "weak", but it isn't.

DKK Ted:
The drum is thin but the hub is thick. The studs are pressed in the hub. the drum is drill out for clearance for the studs to go through.  I have the exact same set-up for 9 years with no problems at all. Thee existing holes are still there are non functional and does not hurt anything. You do not have to weld anything. When the wheel is on, you don't see anything.

Georg/DFL:
Sorry guys, redrilling the hubs sounds pretty scary to me.

Dennis, if you want to do it right then there are only three solutions: Change to beetle drums, change to discs or change to new hubs with Porsche bolt pattern and redrilled drums from Krämer Tuning in Germany. Here is the contact:

I run them on my type 34 for years without any probs, but they aren't cheap. Can't remeber how much, but for nearly the same amount of money I could have got disc brakes.
Hope that helps,

Georg



Speed-Randy:
Get ahold of ISP west, they have the hubs already done in the pattern made from chromoly, and you can convert it to disc while your there

Georg/DFL:
That sounds interesting - do you have more info on them (price, what kind of discs)? Checked their website but couldn't find them.
Cheers,

Georg
