Melburg Luft

Yeh it's a CBB kit, I've hunted the net for discs to suit , This looks like my best bet, i need to get measurements though.. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VW-BEETLE-REAR-DISC-BRAKE-ROTOR-BLANK-22-2844-EACH?item=221164302707&cmd=ViewItem&_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26ot...

Yeh mate it was Mick from Custom bugs and buses, I spoke to him about it and he told me about the machining of a drum etc.. I should have asked if the bug disc fits, I wouldn't have thought so or everyone would have done it.

I've already got discs 112 pcd on a swing axle, I want to fit Fuchs so I need 130. Would a beetle disc fit ? They're easy to get as blanks.

I've done some calling around, turns out, blank type 3 drums need to be machined down for a hub ,drilled for 130 pcd and then blank discs drilled for 130 and fitted over the hubs.. a bit of a process. Still cheaper than converting to 944 brakes.

Helicopter nose wheels would be a perfect size, problem is, they don't throw them away. Everything is sent back to be overhauled. I would be spending time looking at another option Tonz. I spoke to a mate who is in the Industry and he said the same thing, too hard.

Yeh, might just buy them from NSW.. not that I mind but I'd like to buy local. Either way , I've gotta get those deep 6's on ..

Hey blokes , can anyone help me out with a Melburg based shop that can supply and drill blank brake discs ? , i don't want to pay stupid shipping prices from NSW + i would rather see money stay in Melb. I'm after Type 3 Disc's for the rear drilled to 130 pcd ..
Cheers, Roly.

Perfect ^^ And they should be rated to 180 mph.

General Aviation.... bug smashers, small shit....

I'll ask around at work Tonz, i have a few mates who work in GA, there might be something they can find.

I know it's really late but is there a chance i can grab a Tee or Hoodie at DOVW ? I'm Luftless in the wardrobe ..

not my bag either, bloody nice workmanship ,would love to drive it with that turbo torque monster in the back..

Nate, Far more to that car than meets the eye.. Not a no-no candidate IMO... Whilst exactly not my cup of tea , the amount of work and quality was staggering.. 8" taken out of body all the way round ( Channelled ?).. Turbo chev corvair .. 15 year project.. it's simply stunning.. old school bui...

Hey guy's , I'm after a smallish spot light to mount on my westy racks on a splitty ,anything chrome and working would be cool.

Cheers Roly, 04six7688eight55 .

exciting !!could you link me to the Kittens page? i also have a few ideas for rims , going to search far and wide at the LA shows this weekend.. i have a cunning plan.....

Tonz, i have alocal guy who imports boats and cars, he can bring in wheel rims for $50 each from the US . I guess you don't want to hear that just now..

Thanks for the teaser Al, i'll be there in a week and can't wait!

Cheers Adam.

Yeah that bus had 15 x 8's on the rear, they not early, anywhere from the mid 70's to the mid 80's I've got the front beam/brakes that was in that bus when it came from the US! It's going into my split project! Really? the guy who bought built the bus told me the beam is from Franklin's vw werks, i...

GASBNR has some deeps 6's advertised in his sig line. as for early 8's if they were earlies then i think they must have been 7's i don't think they went wider. early 7's were an option or ex 911R and make deep 6's look very affordable. Ahh thanks for the info, he told me the rears were VERY expensi...
