People
I have an early square and the brakes are knackered. I was just going to head down the reno of the originals but then thought maybe I would be better with an econo disk conversion. (Ie not Csp). Does anyone know if I can use the empi wide 5 kits and if so what kit do I need and what master cylinder can I use ? Any other ideas welcome. It is on a tight budget

Hi Paul,

u will need to convert to later disc type 3 spindles , a dual circuit master and later discs with an adaptor or a specific disc that has 5x205pcd

Pretty much all a bolt on .

YEP IT WOULD BE better to use later disc stub axles on the early drum front end they were both BALL joint upper n lower

I do not know if the bearings are same OD in the drum and the disc that would be too easy

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true
