Beetle front disk brake conversion

Post by goremc »

Hi

I am looking at doing a front disk brake conversion on my 1972 beetle. I have given up trying to get the original drums to work efficiently for any extended period of time. Can anyone advise where one can source a decent quality conversion kit? This model has the king pin and link pin front suspension setup.

Many thanks,
Chris

Beamish beach buggies in Cape Town will do a conversion using golf parts
No sense being pessimistic. It wouldn't work anyway.
