Damo, they told me that it can only be 60 thou over. So on a 230mm drum, thats only 231.5mm. Mine were 234mm thats why I have to go and see Rhett!

Yeah, no worries, where from?

You can still get new type 3 wide five stud pattern drums. Got a new pair from Micks Motors the other day for about $160. You just have to get them sent in thats all. He had a set by accident, but they are available from the US and I am sure that most shops would get a new set in for you if you ordered them.

are the type3 drums wider or narrower than stock beetle ones ?


penguin - May 16th, 2006 at 05:46 PM

Wider just by a bit and as so you get a wee bit better stopping power than a normal beetle one
