Title: autocavan disc brake kit?
Post by: beetletom on June 05, 2011, 20:00:40 pm
my old 63 had this kit, which i should of kept...

but thinking about doing a similar set up for my balljoint 66 when or if it ever gets fixed, as i can't afford csp or cb (unless i find one 2nd hand)

they used golf calipers and discs?
and a machined down wide 5 drum??  how were they bolted on to the disc?
and could cb disc brake dropped spindles be used?

help please, as haven't seen this kit for sale for years! and can't be too expensive to replicate?

The Autocavan kit used Golf calipers and a modified Saab disc, mounted to a turned-down wide-five drum, from what I remember (I was there at the time, but it's along time ago!).

You'd need to confirm that with him. 8)

  I think he also has a CB performance Disc set up for sale.

    He was in the Trade area today, not in the Jumble.

      Did you have a stall today> ???

All I can remember is the Boxes being very heavy and a pain too move around...... ::)
