1971-79 Volkswagen bus big vented front disc brake kit

Nate — Thu, 08 Sep 2016 13:25:41 +0000

1971-79 Volkswagen bus big vented disc brake kit.

This kit is the result of many years of refining our other disc brake kits, with help from our customers and their input. Designed to fit inside your stock 14”inch VW bus wheels, and will fit inside most any wheel you will put on the front of your 73-79 bus. Despite having a large 11”inch rotor and a Quality US made 4 piston Wilwood caliper, this brake kit only has a + 5mm offset, And it comes with all the parts needed to do the conversion except for grease.

Replacement parts are all readily available.

The rotors are from a 944/911 Porsche. The bearings are the stock ones for your bus and same with the seals and the caliper is one of the most common, made by Wilwood. We build this disc brake kit in house on our machines in Salem Oregon and we are very proud to offer it to you. This disc kit ships with a stock 112mm bolt pattern.

Please understand that we build these kits, in our shop and usually assemble to order – as they come in, and you may have to wait a week or more. If you want to know how long just email us.

Thanks Nate @ Wagenswest
