Attention all Brakes Experts
Got a Front Disk Brake kit for my Aussie '67 Beetle. The kit has the 5x130 pattern to fit my Empi 911 Fuch replicas. I got the kit from George at
Classic Vee Dub, and they are set up to be used for 911 or Chevy rims - oh, and they came with 2.5 inch Drop spindles - sweeet!
The rotors came without studs, but are threaded to to take the standard Flat 4 13mm lug bolts (see below)
Anyway, I thought of adding a disk brake kit to the rear but have changed my mind. I now think I'll go with new drums with the 911 bolt pattern
instead.
My question is . . . is it legal in Queensland to use adapters? Or does anyone know if I can buy drums with this pattern already drilled into them?
Any advice will be gratefully accepted.

not legal anywhere in Australia for adaptors unless engineered and good luck getting them signed off, you can get new drums drilled in 5x130 new, if you are going to get them from sherman get him to quote including postage and gst. he shafted me with price by not quoting these.
Hey thanks barls.
I did see his ad in the latest AVWM and have sent off an email - thanks for the tip, I'll be sure to get the FULL price. 
Do you know if he can do the drilling? If not, who would you recommend? I'm north Brissie if that helps.
Old Timer
he does drilling
Thanks again barls.
