Do you want to retain the 5lug look or the four lug? It sounds like you want the 5. If so I believe 4 to 5 lug adapters will work on your discs, but I dont know how well. It would seem to me that due to the lack of surface area on a rotor they might tend to flex a bit. Has anyone out there done this before? If you want 4 luggers then just get 4 lug rear drums and backing plates, or drill out your current plates. Your stock backing plates on 5 lug drums adjust from the front, 4 lug from the rear. As for the caps I've seen them advertised in the mags. Hope I helped a bit. jason > -----Original Message----- > From: ccandgc@pixi.com [SMTP:ccandgc@pixi.com] > Sent: Monday, November 02, 1998 11:08 PM > To: type3@vwtype3.org > Subject: [T3] Hub caps & wheel adapters... > > Hi, > > I have 4 bolt disk brakes on my 65 notch.
