Description
An air-cooled VW industry first offered exclusively from AC Industries at an incredibly affordable price! The first 100% bolt-on wide-5-lug rear disc brake kit was developed to give the vintage enthusiast a heavy-duty disc brake system that would put up with real world use dished out by the rigors of daily driving and/or big motor punishment. As an added bonus, this kit will not affect the stock wheel location, so wheel clearance problems are not an issue. If your wheels fit a drum brake setup with no problems, they will fit this disc brake kit.
This kit will allow for zero change in the wheel offset compared to the factory 1965-1967 Beetle & Ghia drum. When you compare this rotor to a 4-lug Beetle drum, you will actually narrow the rear wheel track approximately a ½” per side. For the first time this kit is available because of the new single piston floating caliper and is perfect for a trike, buggy or street car where an emergence brake is not wanted or required. Super easy to install and comes standard with hardware and axles seals.

• (2) Rotors with VW Wide-5 pattern, 5 x 205mm
