I went ahead and bought the Empi Disc Brake Converson Kit. Got the box opened and was looking at all the parts. I went with the stamped caliper bracket. The first thing I noticed is is that the brake lines won't work. I thought the caliper mounted on top of the axle instead of behind the axle. In the instructions it says the brake lines my need to be reshaped. Yeah right. That is the first thing I noticed. I watched a video of a guy putting the same thing on a dune buggy and he used some kind of spaced so his nut would work. I guess his hub was thinner. Guess I will have to have one of those also. I talked to one of the sales people at one of the bigger vw supply houses and he never said anything about anything else I would need.
Does anyone know where I can buy the extended lines? Has anyone else done the conversion and do they have better brakes?
