Thanks

I read a guide on the samba forums about adapting beetle wide 5 disc brake kits to the type 3. Apparently the advantage was that they're cheaper, easier to find and reduce the track width by around an inch (for some that's an advantage). I'll try and find it for you if you're interested in an alternative.

Cheers, I'll looking into iit on the samba, but there are kits made, expensive I know (CSP = 1000euro!) that are simple to fit, I'll be under time pressure to get my car built but I guess noone in Oz is selling this sort of thing then.

Thanks for the feedback
