Subject:VR6 stopping, 4-disc-brakes almost finished!
From:Raimund Feussner

Hi Guys,

with the racecar behind the Vanagon it IS hard to stop, definitely ;-)

But I am almost finisdhed with my brake conversion. The front vented Audi
discs and calipers are great, exactly like the Oettinger ones.
I am driving the Audis for ca. 300km now on my T3 after using Oettinger�s
for almost 3 years now. Same braking ratios, but a lot cheaper.

And the rear disc system is almost complete. I have the calipers and rotors
on the "test axle", the handbrake also works. Only some minor cosmetic
things to
do. Photos will be available in the next days.

When the rear system looks nice, too, I will install these on my
V6-Vanagon and test drive the complete setup.
Then I�ll look for a TUV station here in Germany to legalize it. I am
thinking about
selling these kits complete for ca. half the price of a Porsche brake
system.
Since you people overseas don�t need no TUV legalization (do you?), the
setup could be available sooner (after enough testings).

Raimund
