yeah 'special' drums to allow wide 5 on IRS, and these will get a set of stock front master cylinders and pads inside them... so braking and handbrake should be excellent all around... I didn't think 4 wheel discs was worth the additional cost/engineering etc and the front's are a zero offset kit... http://vwparts.aircooled.net/0-Offset-Wide-5-Disc-Brake-Kit-1949-65-Link-Pin-T1-p/401498.htm looks like really nice stuff uses Mk2 Golf callipers (did have to get a rhd master cylinder separately from the UK though)

well I might need something to widen to different specs... we can talk
-
8's on the back
-
something like that will happen... possibly sell the current ones and just make a new set... obviously I just need to ensure I don't end up with more dish on the front than the back but for the mean time I'll fit the BRM's and focus on getting it the on the road and certed, besides in the last few years everyone's started doing wide steels

hmmmm my rear wheels no longer fit... IRS has a wider track... (kind of knew that was going to happen) http://www.alibaba.com/universal-wheel-arches-promotion.html

unsure how much sense this pic will make to most... but the brackets to hold the IRS are in, as well as the irs arms, as well as the irs gear box, as well as a chassis brace (axels are still to be added) this pic is a bit more self evident..

less welds is more?
-
are you going to get drop spindles?
-
why just 1 inch? if you're going to the effort why not 2? also have you considered IRS instead (though it will widen your rear track)? also why not just arrow your existing beam?
-
so a rebuilds on the cards?

hopefully I'll be driving the only interesting thing in my shed, and there is absolutely no parking near it )-: but keen to see other peoples projects -
I used the Mongoose, and 1 pack was barely enough for the beetle, though they do say you don't need to put it absolutely everywhere
-
