Hey Burley.
Here's a bump for you and your top quality parts. Loved working with you on my build and all your help on the phone. Who knew back then that we'd be neighbors? Hope the sale goes well.

Cool graphics, but somehow I don't think the Canadian National Park Service will let you go off-roading at Moraine Lake!

I looked up Moraine Lake because I was a bit confused?! And, man, it sure does look like that beautiful lake up there!! Kind of funny. I sent this sketch drawing (and I mean rough-draft-childish-ugly!! lol.) to my graphics guy back in 2008, and this is what he drew up for us.
We love the art work! But, truly, it is a design right from my own head. However, Moraine Lake is quite the sight to behold.

As always, we are proud to say that this product is made Burley, right here in the USA!
Includes
2 new calipers with carriers

Whew! For a minute there I thought you'd been awarded for welding a dial indicator to a pipe wrench.

Thank you for the congrats 
The new gen kit features components from a vehicle that is 20 years or more newer and a 6000 lbs GVW rating.
The parking brake holds well on a slope.
Kit comes with new parking brake cables so no modifying stock cables like before.
The old kits components came from a vehicle that is now considered a relic so
they stopped making some of the key components and it was just time to redesign / up grade.

Thanks for your reply Burley. How much more improved is the parking brake compared to your 1st gen kit? If rear drums are a "10" for the parking brake, what would you rate both your 1st gen and 2nd gen rear disc brake kit on a scale of 1-10?

We have had prototypes out there running / testing for 4 years, all applications have proven to be a 10

Sorry if I missed the info, but does the rear conversion fit within a 15" typical GW euro look wheel?

Burley Motorsports rear disc brake kit is a nice upgrade over the stock drum brakes.
BMS rear disc brake conversion kit used components from a vehicle rated at 6000 LBS GVW.
We estimate an approx increase of 15 % in rear stopping power over the original Vanagon standard rear drum brakes.
Its a well known fact that most new trucks now come standard with rear disc brakes because of there increased performance and ease of servicing.
We thought Vanagon owners should also enjoy these modern features

Hey Burley,
Nice as always to see you at Syncrofest.
Question (& you don't need to say sourcing specifically), but are the shoes, caliper parts, & rotors readily available when it come times to service them?
That was a big concern for me when updating to the front big brake kit.
Thanks,
Bill

It was nice to see you at SF as well
Replacement parts are easy to get and readily available.
This is one of the reasons we updated from our old kit.
