Having fitted a straight axle conversion to my splitty, I want to get rid of the skinny beetle brakes and fit some that are wider
Does anyone know what will fit and also make them wider.
The beetle ones areabout 50mm wide and i would like to go to about 70mm, and still keep large 5 stud pattern.

Cheers

Straight axle conversion ?? You mean you took out the reduction hubs and box and put in like a t3 swinger ?

Anyway I beleive the kombi 5 stud rears of th elat 60's were bigger, ie bay window wide 5 studders.

yes you already have or had the widest available

The other way to go would be to fit discs.
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true
