You guys know that you can buy a wide five disc brake kit for the ball joing bug that will fit a Type 3?... I made up a set using the AC Industries
kit a while back.
If you fit stock late disc brake spindles to your Type 3, it all bolts on.... If want to stay with the standard drum spindles, fabricating a plate
adapter for the caliper is a snack.... I've made a few sets in the past, for a variety of calipers and rotors.... I usually build a mock-up using a
bit of MDF, then draw it up in a vector based application (I use Adobe Illustrator), export the file as a DXF and have the plates laser cut. And then
I ring my mate albert Einstein then he calls superman and he cuts the brackets with his laser beam eyes then he throws it to me from the other side of
the world.all in a days work....dxf,adobe love that stuff to Humpty  /quote]
