Re: [T3] Brake upgrades.


I don't know if anyone else has ever come across this issue....  but there is a
hot VWs issue ( I'll look it up.... ) that has the plans ( actual blue
prints....   with dimensions and everything )  and instructions... on how to
convert an IRS rear suspension VW ( they are doing a type 1 but it would work
with a type 3) to rear disc brakes....  it uses a type 3 rear hub ( machined
down slightly to fit the inside of a 914 rear disk..... )  I have been wanting
to do this conversion, once i find a reasonably priced set of 914 calipers (
actually I haven't been looking all that hard yet, as I have other plans that
come before this.......)  If anyone would want a copy of this article  p-mail me
and i'll find the issue.as soon as possible......
