Wendys 60 Bug

[luftkafer]

A good base for our Callook project

We plan on painting the 60 gloss black. We already have a Scat 78MM crank (U.S. casting) and Erco wheels. First thing on the list is the dechroming. I even plan on filling in the trim holes on the dash. Since it's a 60 there is no gas gauge to worry about!
Has anyone run disc brakes on Ercos? Which ones fit?

BeetleTom,
That is my Father in Laws 65 Bug. It goes to the upholstery shop next week for a headliner and carpet. It's a nice car. Original metal and it's even 6 volt.

Erich, are you and Wendy the same Erich and Wendy who posts on The Samba as Genrich? 

The '60 looks spot on, and the plans sound great! I think Ercos will fit on disc brakes if you use the flat ones, not the "pie pan" / "bubble" ones - I'm sure I've read a bit about them on here. Otherwise, do a search either here or on the samba for what brakes do fit the zero offset ones. I'm sure theres some!

Neil,
Yes, that is us! We get around alot.  My wife wanted a Cal Look Bug so who am I to complain? 48 IDA's, yes dear... Erco wheels, let me make a few calls, narrowed beam... whatever you want Honey... Lucky, Lucky, Erich

Neil,
Do you know any people from the 90's VW scene? I need some info.

[Neil Davies]

Ask away dude, see if I know anyone! I'm in the UK, so I'm more likely to know people here that overseas, but I've got a pretty good memory!

(BTW, you should put the Erco's and IDAs in the '48, it's practically a factory Cal Looker!
