Title: Beams and brakes Post by: luftkafer on December 08, 2007, 05:12:47 am So my wife and I are starting on another VW project. We have a 60 Bug that we want to Cal so I need advise on a few things.
I have a set of Ercos (205 pattern) and want to run them on a 2 inch narrowed beam with disc brakes. Any recommendations on a beam? CB? etc. What about disc brakes? CSP? or? Will the discs clear the Ercos? Erich and Wendy Title: Re: Beams and brakes Post by: axam48ida on December 08, 2007, 10:05:00 am Hello, how's the wife and junior?
Erich the csp's or cb brakes won't clear the bubbles unless you use a spacer and massage the caliper I looked into the "Bad Brakes" . they offer a wildwood caliper I think will clear the bubbles. I have built a couple front ends using the aftermarket beams.....narrowed and stock...they are lighter due to the thinner material...but I go with a stock beam narrowed or stock width. here is the brake and air bag website http://www.airkewld.com/parts/products.php?cat=93&PHPSESSID=b00f76e5beb545168c8982e5f221a504 Title: Re: Beams and brakes Post by: louisb on December 08, 2007, 16:10:44 pm I just put a CB beam on my '67. I used thier beam, torsion bars, tie rods & sway bar. I was happy with the quality of the product and wouldn't hesitate to use it on another car.
