My 61 is gutted........Literaly. All I have for the original braking system is the pedal. Thats it. Someone told me that the old Beetles have a cable brake system????? If that is true, I'd like to convert to a hydralic system. Also, does anyone make a conversion for a "conventional" wheel bolt pattern? Hubs, spindles, rotors, drums, etc.?

 

they all have hydrolic brakes
and you can find wheel adapters cheap

 

Thanks

 

Sweet. What are the names of some of these places? Do they have any websites I could browse through?

 

empi, bugback, look in a hot VWs mag. they have lots of parts adds

 

Cool. Thanks guys

 

mamotorworks it a great place for everything as well. You could upgrade to rotors instead of drums, bolt on!
