One of the best upgrades you can do for your classic air-cooled VW is to upgrade the old drum brakes to disc brakes. The AC Industries’ No Hassle Disc Brake Conversion Kits now makes it easier than ever! This first in the industry is 100% bolt on. This kit is so simple to install, that if you can repack your own wheel bearings, you can do this install yourself. There are no spindles to change, just remove the drums and backing plate and replace them with the supplied O.E. quality disc brackets. Install the new rotor and caliper and bleed the brakes. Yes, it’s that simple! Fits cars with link pin front suspensions from 1949 to 1965.
