Cool wheels. They remind me of the old Indy Drag Mags I had on my 66 Bug. Of course that was back in the early 80's so they were nothing special at the time just old wheels. But I thought they looked pretty killer. |

Cool , adapters to fit the smaller diameter VW brake cylinders to early Ford backplates ? Guess Ford brake shoe ends or the VW cylinder pistons will need some mods to work together ?! |

It's amazing how similar the closed dimension, shoe travel, and shoe2cylinder connection is. Plus, a 40 Ford 2 door sedan with a front flathead needs far greater stopping power than a lightened rear engine vw. We think it will work. |
