Need wider brake drums
57kombi - May 26th, 2003 at 05:06 PM

Having fitted a straight axle conversion to my splitty, I want to get rid of the skinny beetle brakes and fit some that are wider
Does anyone know what will fit and also make them wider.
The beetle ones areabout 50mm wide and i would like to go to about 70mm, and still keep large 5 stud pattern.

Cheers
Dave

Straight axle conversion ?? You mean you took out the reduction hubs and box and put in like a t3 swinger ?

Anyway I beleive the kombi 5 stud rears of th elat 60's were bigger, ie bay window wide 5 studders.

yes you already have or had the widest available

The other way to go would be to fit discs.

Same as Kombi
