Subject:Re: Winkler 4-wheel disc brakes

I already talked to Winkler a few months ago after having installed my Audi
V6.
They say the 4 discs-brake system is original the one offered by "Oettinger"
in Germany.
It costs about 4700-5000 D-Marks. Oettinger used these brakes for their
6-Cylinder Waterboxer Vanagons built in the 80s.
And by the way I recommend not to trade with Winkler... (only my personal
opinion, but shared with few other german vanagon drivers).
I offered a front plastic bumper long ago, and the quality was very poor!
They are not very friendly when talking to you and not being sure that you
definitely want to buy a thing.
They also offer the roof spoiler (Third brake light) I wrote about. Cheaper,
but not original Projektzwo...
So if you want 4 discs: better call Oettinger!

You can buy a 2 discs brake system at ds-tuning in germany (address on my
homepage). The front discs are ventilated, too. They costs about 1700
D-Marks. I ordered these and hope to get them at Christmas :-) And when more
money is available I can offer the rear discs later.
