Bolt-on upgrades for 1200 `70 standard
Hi,
I`m finished restoring my beetle, using mostly stock parts. Now I`m lookin into upgrading my brakes a bit. Current: CB-perf lowering disc spindels All stock calipers, discs, pads and master cylinder. On my local forum (Norway) I have been advised to upgrade to Talbot Horizon calipers in front, and 924 rear brake pumps. (19,05 against stock 17,46). Would it be any reason to upgrade the master also, stock beeing 19,05? What types fit my car? Some pics of the Talbot calipers vs stock VW below Last edited by redhot; August 27th 2006 at 11:53. |

Are those Talbot calipers new or restored? I have tried to find such calipers in Sweden but had no luck so far... Where did you find yours? Is the caliper a rare one, or a common model? How is the availabiblity of brake pads for it?
In any case, they look very nice... Let us know how they work out! Cheers Daniel, Gothenburg

Hi,
Any input on this? I now have the calipers, but I`m debating on what to do to the rear brakes. Anyone with real experience? Worthwile to do the type 3 rear brakes, or just a 19,05 wheel cylinder? |
