Have you fitted a new master cylinder?
Don't know if you will need a regulator as it doesn't mention them in the kit instructions.
The brakes look sweet 8)
Just fitted mine at the weekend. They are for 14" wheels so you don't get a backing plate and my disks aren't x drilled so they don't look as cool as yours.
 
Fitted 4 sets 2bay 2 split never fitted pressure regulators, brakes work fine without.
 
yep i fitted new 70's disc brake master cylinder and new copper brake lines, i'll have to see how the brakes "bed in" to see if i need a regulator.

You won't need a regulator from experiance, just hold tight when braking.
 
Sweet. iv seen a few threads on wether you need a new master cylinder or not and from what Machine seven told me when i bought my brakes that i dont need one, iv got a 1970 bay. i wish i was ready to start bolting on shiny stuff lol i have a garage full of it ready to go on :lol:
i like the discs on yours
 
No need to change master cylinder, just remove residual pressure valve from the fitting for front brakes on master cylinder.
Works fine. :D

Got this from dtrumbo on Samba.

Sorry for the confusion. This is exactly why I was instructed by Wolfsburg West to remove the check valve was to reduce the residual pressure. To do this, remove from the master cylinder the brass fitting that connects to the front brakes. Once this fitting is removed, you will see that the fitting includes a check valve which is made up of a spring loaded ball stopper. What I did was carefully secure the fitting in a vice, grasp the check valve portion with channel-locks and carefully pop the check valve out and discard it. Then screw the fitting back into the master cylinder, connect your lines, bleed and go. So far, everything works just wonderfully.

I hope this clears it up! Good luck!
 
I fitted the 14" kit to my bus 68 and changed the master over to a disk brake master. I was advised not to use the original drum brake master by scp in Germany as I emailed them direct to ask. I do however feel that my brakes ain't as good as they could be!!

The pedal's quite hard (ooh er!)

Anyone got any better ideas?

Unless you attached the vacuum booster line then yes the pedal will be quite stiff. Stopping my '74 (boosted discs) when the engine isn't running requires harder pedal pushing than either my '69 or '67.

With the engine running and the vacuum line booster working it's of course MUCH nicer.

Cheers, A.
