Hi,
My rover crew (scouts) have just completed a disc brake conversion on our mud racing buggy, which runs a 67 bus gearbox (out of a splitty) with reduction hubs. Will have the pictures for you soon.
Anyway I was wondering how many people would be interested in locally sourced disc brake conversion kits, starting with late reduction hub designs and expanding into earlier and later reduction hub and non-reduction hub designs. BMW and Mercedes parts make up the bulk of it. It is a bolt on and go design.
I am not the one who will be doing it, it will be my mate cam who designed the setup.
I think the estimated cost per kit is $800 (for reduction hub type), but it should be lower. Apparently volkspower quoted $1400 to do it for us (sorry mate).
All profits will go towards our rover crew and our buggy.
If you have a machine shop and want to make and sell it yourself then that is a possibility too, let me know.

I can not sell mine for $600 .00 and I have stock !

dammit, there goes that idea.
i thought it was hard to get them for reduction hubs??

O may be I have a gear box and will look I can not recall them to be a problem ? I can make any thing fit !

You could sell me a set but I have no money

Hijacking the thread...... have you ever made vw manifolds with injector bosses in them seagull ?

I think this is an excellent way for the Crew to raise funds - if it works...

As a Scout Leader, I hope it does!! :thumb
