Wide 5 disc kit pulls up short!!
Just fitted a wide 5 rear disc brake kit to my '69 Beetle, as they say nothing is a simple bolt on install, and true to form the hand brake cables
are 1/2 inch too short, the steel brake lines that now go to the calipers are too short, and the wheel studs are too short for my BRM's
I can fix all these problems, but it's a nuisance, and shouldn't happed with a bolt on kit.

Here's a solution, move the rear axle forward 1/2 an inch, narrow the rear track, and put skinny lawn mower wheels on the back. Easy fix to all your
problems. You'll look like a reversing cal looker too.. :thumb
