non Porsche brakes
 

Are there any other brakes other than VW or Porsche that will fit with minimum amount of modification/fabrication? Preferably ricer type brakes, I am planning on putting on Motegi Track-lite wheels.

try http://www.vdubcustoms.com Talk to Lanner, he can give you some options.

I've put BMW M3 stuff on mine.........

not easy but worth the effort ('Had to use BMW discs as my wheels are BMW stud pattern and I aint changing them!)

I'm using a Porsche 944 split master cylinder with these as the pedal travel with the stock Bug one was sooooooooooooooooo long!!!

Much much better now.

'Any questions feel free to ask.

Nice work with the M5 Brakes! :agree: What it the stud pattern on them?

M3 brakes, my bad any way they look awsome!!! :D

Hi, the stud pattern is 5 x 120 .......... BMW specific only I'm led to believe :(

Theses are the rims....... which I'm not changing!

how did you attach the rotors? did you use porsche hubs?

thanks
rip

Nope, I made my own hubs up out of the bug discs and drums. (they were blank THICK items that were already drilled to BMW stud pattern)

The rear drum was turned down so that the disc fitted over it, 'Top Hat' style. Then bolted to the hub with countersunk screws and a bottle of threadlock!

heres the rear hub,

With the fronts I again turned down the bug discs to make a similar hub, but instead of fixing the disc ofvr the top I attatched it to the back again using the 5 screw method, you can see it better in the pic...
