1965 Bug disc brakes

May 14, 2007 4 Replies

Does anyone know of anybody that offers a front disc brake kit for a pre-66' bug with the king pin type front end ? I have had no luck finding one and I am told that the ball joint type front end will not bolt in to a 65' model bug either. Any clues or help would be appreciated...........

Thanks Roger, that did help although I didn't realize they would be that expensive. 700.00 is a lot for disc brakes knowing that if it was a year newer with ball joints I could do it for 300.00. Thanks for the info though..........

Nobody said it was cheap.. However it is cheaper than to redo the front after a colission 'cause you couldn't brake fast enough..

Good luck, Roger
