Hi all
I have a 65 beetle with dropped spindles and std drums,
I bought a second hand disc kit ,2 brakets to fit the later caliper to the
spindle,the discs are the 4/130 also.
Going from all the kits out there,it looks like the Empi going for the brakets shape.
I want to adapt to 5/205 discs,do any of the csp or empi 5/205 discs fit?
CSP discs seem to have a bolted adaptor to make it 5/205
Can these be bought separately?
Thanx
Chris
I did this with my 65
Vintage vee dub have a great kit 5/205 ( not sure if they will work with dropped spindles though)
great quality won't widen the track and use local pads (commodore?)
empi🙅
Keeping it real !
Trouble with the VVDS gear is that the rotor is cast as part of the hub so when you have to replace the disc you need the entire hub too.
CSP and aircooled, we'll leave EMPI crap out of this, Use a bolt on disc to a hub. Aircooled have both the rotor and wide 5 adapter bolt to the hub but IIRC the CSP has the wide 5 machined as part of the hub and it's just the rotor that bolts on.
Either way for maintenance costs the Aircooled and CSP are the better option BUT you have to find a motor engineer that agrees that the wide 5 hub flange is part of a permanent assembly and not a wheel adapter or spacer that are illegal in the ADR unless you're Porsche.
madness is in the eye of the beholder 👍
