Volks,
I have a 1970 USA beetle, bone stock, restored, but generally rebuilt to
Germany specs. I'm aware that the European-spec Type 1 1500s had disk
brakes in front. I've seen conversion kits advertised here and there, and
I've heard that the Karmann-Ghia disks can be adapted to beetles. But I
want to know what I'm getting into.
In your opinion (anybody with the experience), what's the best available
route to converting my bug to the Euro front disk brakes, or a good
approximation thereof? I'm fairly handy with a wrench, have put on new
brakes, etc., but don't have welding capability nor an indoor shop. Who
makes/sells the best conversion kit? What pitfalls should I avoid?
