Did a little wet sanding and buffing on the bus today....Need to go get my buffer from Mom and Dads now because doing it all by hand sucks!

Ok, what's the deal on this set up,Bryce?

Here is the thread. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=287958&highlight=disc+brake
Basically it is mustang ii rotors, with metric gm calipers, homemade caliper brakets, and a couple of spaces and you can have disc brakes for about 250ish.

That is some great info, the brakes in my Bay are driving me crazy. I do not even know where to start. Now there is hope! cheers

Thanks Bryce for the info.

Looks like you are making good progress!! Cool

Cutting is the easy part. It's the glueing that takes some serious time.

Keep at it!

by **Attorney Isaiah Loophole** Mon Dec 28, 2009 10:25 am

Looks better already!
