cavemandan Sat Dec 15, 2007 10:27 am

I have a typ 1 1964, with the original wide 5 bolt pattern.
I REALLY want to have gas burners, which are 5X130mm
I DONT want spacers,NO!!!! any suggestions, anybody else been through this already?
I thought about redrill, but there is that ridge for strength on the drum.
and the drum is kind of cone shaped??
I've searched around in the forum but I havent seen anything about this.
thanks, dan

Can't drill wide 5 drums for Porsche pattern. Get some IRS 4 lug drums that are already drilled or re-drilled for the porsche pattern(try CIP1).

The rear drums will need the snout machined down a bit to properly fit (machine 5/8" off snout for your short axle)
Personally, I would use this as an opportunity to go dual circuit master cylinder and porsche pattern disc up front w/ ghia calipers.

I have no idea if the repop burners take ball seat lugbolts or original porsche lugnuts...

Call Russ @ OldSpeed. I got front ghia discs and drilled late rear drums cheap, easy install and they work great!

On my sc I had to machine the cone down...alot.
It's even worse than a type 1. Then I had the drums
studded for porsche pattern....I still had to run 1/8" spacer :cry:



You should be able to machine the front and have it fit.
Or get discs...
