72 notch disc brake rotors.
so apparently volkswagen put thicker porsche rotors on type 3s for 72/ 73 . mine are down to about 8.5mm. will they pass rwc? and will they stop the
car? if not, where do i get new rotors? isp dont have them listed, local qld supplier said may have to run with what i got. not too sure

I do not understand why you cannot get replacement rotors, I just put a set of 1500 beetle rotors that were drilled 5 x 130 on my type 34 that is
fitted with a late model front end, just fitted straight on, the factory manual states that the disc thickness for the rotors for the 68 through 73 is
9.50MM to 9.45MM with replacement recommended at 8.50MM with a minimum of 8.00mm, the difference is the wheel centre ring in the casting which has
been deleted on some models. Check this link out and you will see that these fit a lot of models. http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=VWC%2D311%2D405%2D583%2DA

the 72 and 73 used a larger diameter disk, the same part are used on the Porsche 914 and vw type 4. The front caliper were also the same across all
these cars which had wider caliper lug spacing, physically bigger I recall as well.
The disk is hard to find, but you can get them new. I don't know if you can even get them here in Oz, you may have to buy from over seas.
You could try brembo or DBA to see if they stock any or can get them in for you.
71 notchback,
