All righty folks

I must admit I am completely and utterly confused. I understand that all options are going to need to go to an engineer to be plated, however from reading this site and others and talking to different shops there are so many different opinions on which are good, which are not....

I am wanting to put disc brakes on my 63 beetle with a 2" narrowed beam (no dropped spindles)

From my reading CSP appear to have the best reputation, but I have then read that some engineers won't sign off on them cos they have alloy discs. Not sure if this is correct or not.

I know some places make their own? Can anyone please help steer me in the right direction or share their own experiences with different brands, especially ppl in Qld with getting them engineered?

Thx all.

Find an engineer and talk to him and see what "your" engineer will sign off

What one engineer signs off dosent mean another will

Are you wanting to keep wide 5?

As far as I know, the Vintage Vee Dub system has been passed by many an engineer

Otherwise standard VW 4 bolt would have no problems being signed off

Thx for the reply. That's where it gets confusing. Surely all engineers should be working to the same set of standards. Not just what they are happy to sign off on. It makes it seem subjective rather than objective.

There also must be some engineers who are most understanding of VW's and what components are used etc.?

Yes I am keeping the wide 5 patten as I have imported me a me a set of RDW mags.

As far as i know CSP brakes do not have alloy rotors, as above try to use a approved caliper to start with, dual curcuit master cylinder will be required, a good engineer will calculate if the caliper will be suitable to use with the standard displacement master cylinder, this is how i did when i made my own disign four wheel disc set up and had it approved by an engineer not an approval station which seam to approve anything.

I have a set of vvds wide five disc brake kit that i no longer intend to use. $500 and their yours.
