I am contemplating doing the front disc brake conversion kit on my 1969 VW Bus. I have 2.5″ lifted spindles from Wagenswest for the front of the bus. Do you by chance know if the disc brake conversion kit will work in conjunction with the lifted spindles?

Hi Trevin,

Thanks for your question and your interest in our Bus disc brake kit. We have been able to confirm that our AC Industries Bus disc brake kit will work on the drum brake lowered spindle from Wagonswest.

I have looked at the link that you have supplied, but the only spindle I see is a disc brake raised spindle that uses disc brake rotors and calipers from a 1973-1979 Bus – our kit will not be compatible with these spindles. If Wagonswest does make a raised drum brake spindle, then it might be possible to use our kit, as long as our adapter bracket will mount up to the their spindle.

Thanks,
Andy
