Re: [T3] 5 lug wheels question

["Steven Ayres" <comwest@well.com>]

Marvin=> I have a 65 notchback with a vw four lug bolt pattern.

I've never heard of 4-lug wheels coming on any VW before '66. The first and
most obvious question is are you sure it's a '65? What are the first three
digits in your VIN?

=>  Did the older five lug cars have disc on the front?

No, the first VW disc brakes came on Type 3s in '66.

=> Is there a conversion kit available for five lug disc
=> front and back for a type 3?

I haven't seen this being offered commercially as a kit. It's not an
especially unusual conversion, though there's some hassle involved. Do you
have a single or dual master cylinder? Where is the reservoir located?
