Go Westy now has a completely custom made big brake kit, no more messing
around with obsolete Audi parts:

parent_id=  And you'll have a source of parts, at least for as long as Go
Westy is in business.

Forget about the rear, it's not worth the trouble, and you'll likely not
have an effective parking brake.

Subject: 91 Carat Restoration

OK, now that one van is gone - I'm ready to move into my 91' Carat
restoration project.

It's an automatic and has to have a tranny re-build - no question. But while
the transaxle is out - I thought I might have a peloquin put in.
Plan to have this done locally. No problem for the auto-tranny, but there
are question marks about the peloquin being done locally.
Any opinions or commentary on this would be appreciated.

If anyone knows about anything that is different about the 91's vs other
Carats, I would appreciate hearing of that too. I seem to have heard that
headlight switches are different from other Vanagons, and maybe ignition
switches as well. But anything helps.

I plan to put on new 15-16 inch rims - and will consider a big brake kit, so
am inquiring as to experience among the list membership. I'm also interested
in upgrading the rear brakes to disk brakes. Would like info on that as
well..

Thanks a bunch, Volks. Ya'll are the best!!
