Maybe it has been covered, but I want run discs on the front of the 66 t34. Now is has the stock four lug disc rotors.

Is there a rotor out there that is a bolt on to the stock spindle? I want to run an earlier wheel with a wide five pattern.

I thought the CB wide five BJ disc would work with the stock spindle but not sure.

Maybe it is a bearing issue?

thanks,
patrick

To my knowledge there is currenlty no front wide 5 disc kit available for T3s. That's why T3s [with discs] you see either run 4 bolt or Porsche patterns.

I have the CSP wide-5 kit on my -64 Squareback. In my opinion itīs worth every cent.
The original 64-65 drum brakes doesnīt work well when you brake hard from high speeds. Even the smaller drums on my -62 Notch works alot better than the original on my -64.
With the discs installed i have really good brakes. I can stop the car from 110-115 mph without any problems.
