Title: wide 5 disc brakes on a type 3
Post by: Speed-Randy on May 22, 2011, 01:06:40 am
Anybody ever put a disc brake system on a type 3 (5/205)? I did 11 years ago on my 64 notch, but dont remember what I had to do. I'm picking up a 64 squareback next week, to go along with my daughters 69 squareback, and I hate drum brakes. this is going to be a daily driver so I dont want to constantly adjust brakes.

They are modifying t3 arms to accept t1 ball joints/spindles. Doing that makes drop spindles and brakes much easier on a t3.
