 |
|
I used to have a set of CSP discs on the front of my BD truck but i but them on another bus, i'm planning on shipping it out to California later this month si it makes more sense to buy a kit out there as it'll probably work out cheaper. it's running on original Barndoor spindles that have been dropped.
Does anyone do them and are they available off the shelf? i'm hoping to use the truck in Cali when i come out late October.
Thanks
Tim.

| Just buy another CSP kit when you get here. Or are you after something different? |

Thanks

wolfsburg west or CIP1. Don't think they stock the barndoor version though. There was ( is?) a US distributor with a web site set up exactly like the German site but in
US $ but I can't find the link for ya'. |

CSP do one, i had one on my SC from 2003, it basically uses a CSP linkpin bug caliper bracket and 55-63 rotors. both kits use the same calipers.
When they sent mine they sent the 55-63 caliper brakets so they didn't fit, they then sent the right ones so i had both, when i had my 67(68 model) bay i had a 58 beam on it so i used the disc brakes on that as the SC was parked up... when i sold it they went too and i've not got round to replacing it yet. i still have the caliper brakets though.
