[QUOTE="Nugsy, post: 640144, member: 13505"] Thanks Sparky, really appreciate that. I have some standard early disc spindles 70/71. If you let me know what you're measuring I can check them. Alex from t'haus mentioned the calipers fowling the mount somehow. Also said the old school kit he saw used the back plate mounts to mount the caliper bracket and put the caliper on the opposite side (assume leading edge). Lanner at Vdubengineering said that's the kit that now uses cayman/boxster and need 16" wheels Early disc spindles are always advertised different to late bay spindles, and in researching this have found all late bay spindles say if putting on a 70/71 you need to upgrade to 72 on Brakes. Not sure on the difference between early disc and drum. Called Cool Air today as t'haus distributor, they have nothing. Also called T2D and waiting on a call back. Scouring the Samba and looking on their site Wagonwest are $1400 but not in stock. Found some posts say to check Oldspeed, CA but no shop option on their Web page. Wish I'd done it years ago when I first wanted too, but was happy just driving it then. Then had engine issues, moved house, lockdown. Finally got my arse in gear to get it sorted how I always wanted it now (first thread I read when I logged back in here was your new bus) [/QUOTE]
