I have been thinking about doing this mod on my Bus but wasn't sure If the results would be that great. The *easy* mod would be to just swap the spindles from a later Bus and use the existing master cylinder/pedal setup. The braking would be better with the disc brakes but I think the *feel* wouldn't"t be right since you wouldn't be using the brake booster. I also think you would have to use a proportioning valve to keep the pressure balanced and not lock up one end of the car. Probably use an adjustable proportioning valve like the racers do. The discs do sound enticing but I am not sure the results would be worth the expense and effort. Anyway just my thoughts and $.02. Charles Armstrong '70 Bus '92 Passat GL '69 BMW 1600-2
