Converted drums on my 81 vw truck to rear discs by bolting
on disc assembly from 87gti. Had to bend the brake lines a
little, everything else bolted right up. Also used stock
pro portioning valve. Works great.

____________________ ORIGINAL MESSAGE: _____________________

We want to convert the rear brakes on our shop truck from
drum to disc with parts from our'87 GTI parts car. Wer'e
not sure about parking brake cable and pressure regulator
requirements. Anyone ever make this conversion? Any help
would be appreciated. Thanks
