Brake kits

Dubsky · 2012-11-26T10:12:29+00:00

Hey people, I'm looking at upgrading my brakes as the drums on my 68 fasty are nearly dead. Looking for advice on kits and set ups along with recommended suppliers of new parts. Was thinking of a dual circuit disk brake kit with 5 stud stock spacing and offset, possible with a booster as well.Any opinions? Worth considering a drop spindle set? Best place to buy? Any advice would be appreciated.

If you fit stock late disc brake spindles to your Type 3, it all bolts on.... If want to stay with the standard drum spindles, fabricating a plate adapter for the caliper is a snack.... I've made a few sets in the past, for a variety of calipers and rotors.... I usually build a mock-up using a bit of MDF, then draw it up in a vector based application (I use Adobe Illustrator), export the file as a DXF and have the plates laser cut. And then I ring my mate albert Einstein then he calls superman and he cuts the brackets with his laser beam eyes then he throws it to me from the other side of the world.all in a days work....dxf,adobe love that stuff to Humpty 🙂/quote]
