Thank you so much for your support! I've actually had a great time making these videos so far and I hope my effort helps other VW people with thier own installs.
This was exactly what I wanted to see in a conversion kit. Something that used existing and readably available parts. Looked up the kit and ordered immediately. TY for posting.
@@partsguyjay quick question. What kind of tires are you running? I’m switching back to stock 14” from some 15” BRMs and having trouble finding proper 14” truck tires.
@@MatthewFrancis7575 I have these on there www.walmart.com/ip/Tire-Haida-Strong-HD717-195R14-Load-D-8-Ply-Van-Commercial/5483954132?classType=REGULAR&selectedSellerId=17465&from=/search I bought them in the beginning of Covid so it was slim pickings. They are 8 ply and the specs put the diameter a little taller than most 195r14s so slightly lower rpm. A little noisy but so isn’t the truck. They also have an older style looking tread. (Might be other sellers that are cheaper on the same tire)

Very useful installation guide.
Thanks much

You're Welcome! I've had this kit on my bus for a year and have no regrets at all. Best of luck with everything, Jay

@@partsguyjay thank you!
Thanks for the video. If I keep my project Bus, I will be adding this kit for sure. Hopefully in the 5x130 bolt pattern. Front and rear is possible.
You're welcome!
Good video. Do you know the bolt pattern of those discs if you did not want to run the adapters?
Thank you! The rotors have a 5 on 4.75 pattern. Type E also sells this kit with a Porsche pattern adapter.
Hi , well done video, any thoughts now that you have been using the brake kit a while . Thankyou, Glen ,, Nova Scotia.
Hi Glen, no regrets here, My truck stops amazing! I actually just got a second kit for the 65 Double Cab I'm building.
