205x5 kombi rear brakes?
Just a quick one, I haven't been around a kombi for quite a few years now,
if I was to use late bay window rear brakes on my Baja, Do the low light 205x5 stud pattern drums fit on these?
or are they a totally differeny brake?
Any idea on how big these are by the way?

No, you'll need to use earlier backing plate assemblies as the shoes sit differently in the different models

Why don't you just run discs Nils? Not hard to do and far better than drums.

Ah, so should start with all lowlight doner bits? Are the brakes one the type 2 actually that much bigger or do you think i am barking up the wrong
tree?
I guess the plan here is to still end up with the wide 5 stud pattern, very hard to do with discs

Yes, the brakes are WAY bigger than type 3, not worked it out, but my guess they are a similar or better than the improvement from type 1 to 3.
