Subject:Re: Cheap disc brake upgrade for 81'-85' V'gons (a Long Report)

Jens Hansen, of Hansen Motorsport, is a great guy.  I spent an afternoon at
his house the last time I was in Germany and had a wonderful time.  He does
some really nice stuff with T3s and such in Germany.  I can highly recommend
him to anyone looking for some high-end braking.

Cheers,

Jeff

There are other options. These are for those who are really serious
about their brakes, and in particular for those fitting powerful
engines. That is the Hansen Motorsport Porsche kit for all 4 wheels,
and Hansen also makes custom kits.

My Hansen 993 kit is on order, with adaptors to fit wheels with 5x114.3 PC.
