Folks,

I have a little problem with rubbing at the front of the buggy which i need to fix before I give her a good trashing. Does anyone out there have a spare set of standard disc spindles doing nothing.

So any of our suppliers do me a good price on them

George

the dark haired chap set up beside Padraig at the swapmeet (didn't get his name) had two sets of beetle disk brakes for sale. Did anyone get his details or is he on here and I just haven't put the face and name together?

oh, one other thing, when I had a rubbing issue on the bug I fitted an uprated anti-roll bar. Problem solved.

trev - there is no anti-roll bar on the buggy, makes the front too stiff, she is much lighter than a beetle

if anyone has his name it would be appreciated

yeah it was me,i still have the two sets. e400 for the completely new set or e100 for the clapped out rusty rubbish.
the newish ones have new hoses,discs,bearings,seals,nuts,washers and caps, the stubs are original vw and the calipers were reconditioned by vw...

the rusty spindles are in otherwise good condition,i only reffered to them as rusty rubbish because the newish set make them look so bad especialy when you compare the prices, the new pieces cost nearly the total price, but i dont mind ill sell either,,,
