Golf Mk1 Disc brakes as replacement for '74 beetle Front Drum Brakes?
Posted: Thu Aug 15, 2019 3:34 pm
Hi all,
Please excuse my first post. I am new here.
Question: I have heard that the front disc brakes from a Golf Mk1 can serve as a "bolt-on" replacement for the front drum brakes of my 1974 Beetle? (I would like to keep the original steel rims and 4 lug nut pattern)..
*Is this true?
If not, please advise on what disc brakes would fit the original 4 lug nut pattern (as well as clear the steel rims!).
Also, if it is not as simple as swapping from drums to disc... What needs to be done to the car to make run on front disc brakes?
Thanks in advance for the help...
