Classic air cooled VW Beetle Empi disc brake conversion

Показать описание

In this episode I install an Empi front disc brake kit, bleed brakes etc. I have been wanting to try this kit for some time so quite exciting to finally purchase it. I unbox the kit and go through what is included and then proceed to fit it to my 1964 classic beetle. If you haven't seen already the previous episode I show how to remove the old drum brakes. Hope you enjoy this and may help you with your upgrade. Please don't forget to like and subscribe. Jamie

This is the kit that I used in the video. Click the link below.

THANK YOU. This is the only video or instruction that I could find that told what those spacers in the back were for. I thought maybe they were some goofy bearing race (well I was warm)

Fantastic video . Just bought my first VW bug 1969

i recommend disk brakes all around, its night and day difference. plus, better brakes makes your Bug feel even more like a gokart. man Bug are so fun to drive, especially with some HP

Thanks, I have a 66 Aussie Beetle with the older type tie rods, a real pain to align my steering after fitting 2 1/2” dropped spindles, after a month I removed the spindles and fitted the old ones back, another pain to align back, but I’m leaving it stock now, but would like to fit front disc brakes, cheers for your video.

Thank you very much for the video and tips for disk brake conversion! EMPI's instructions that come with the kit are vague as hell!

Great video. I have the same torque wrench! 😆

very easy job as it is just plug n play. If you have money, everything can be realized. What's unique is if you don't have money but you can use trash to convert your bugs with disc brake 🤣

If you freeze the bearing races, they almost fall in... Nice work....

Did you remember to grease that inside bearing and a thrust washer should be between the outer and the axle nut?
Just asking?

Excellent! Thank you. I have a '73 Standard Bug and will be doing the same thing. I would love to see your paint all buffed out. Is it original paint?

Hi, which kid did you buy, the only one I can find by Empi has dropped spindles for a 1954 beetle.

Where did you get those spindles? I'm trying to install the same empi disc kit in My 69 bug but, i just notice the inner bearing won't fit since the spindle is bigger (variable diameter)
