1968-70 disc brake master cylinder conversion kit This is a dual circuit master cylinder kit for the 1968-70 Volkswagen bus, for use when converting to disc brakes. Also works as a replacement for the unobtainable stock 68-70 master cylinder. Comes with all the hardware needed to install.

A must for a disk brake conversion!

We use 2 style master cylinders, 1971-79 bus with 24mm pistons or a rabbit master cylinder with 21mm pistons.

We like to use the late bus master cylinder for disc brakes with LARGE piston calipers and we use the rabbit for small piston disc brakes (1.5 inch &under) or drum brakes.

Includes

1 – disc brake dual circuit master cylinder.

1 – Adapter kit and boot.

1 – set of hoses, clamps and elbow.

1 – Dual circuit reservoir and 2 rubber grommets.

Bus narrowed air ride beam, for 1955-79 Volkswagen Buses

Wagenswest narrowed air ride beam, can be made custom, but come 4″ inches narrowed and utilize two 2500 pound air bags, the bags sit inside the frame rails of the bus. The beam is designed to use the stock narrowed springs in both top and bottom tube, with the top spring being held by an adjuster and the bottom spring supported by the air bags. The ride height and air bag travel is dependent on the adjustable pre-load of the top spring.

Our narrowed air ride beam is labor intensive and the bottom tube is just plum full of goodies that make this thing work awesome!

This Bus narrowed air ride beam includes, air bags and Wagenswest OE Style needle bearings or bushings as well as a new center pin.
