I have a 64 split bus which has had the front end converted to ball joint(front beam from 78 bay, Narrowed) and the rear is IRS.
I am trying to find front disk brakes kit with 5 x 205 stud pattern and also Drum or disk kit for the rear, again 5 x 205 pattern
does anyone know of any kits on the market or do i need to source individual parts

Does it have drum style spindles with a bolt on backing plate, or disk style later spindles with 2 bolts to mount a caliper? Not sure what the options might be on your side of the world. If its already got disks, just add a 5x112 to 5x205 adapter plate from Wolfgang Int.

If it has the drum style spindles, just add this kit. :D

Is your rear IRS kit based on beetle parts, or baywindow parts?

If its a bay beam might be better to ask over in the bay forums
