Front Disc Brake Kit (for all Super Beetles)
This special Super Beetle disc conversion guarantees great stopping power and wet weather
performance! The kit is installed by removing the drum, brake shoes, and backing plate assembly from
the original spindle. (The spindle remains on the car.)
The special Beefy Billit 6061-T6 adapters bolt to the spindle to mount the caliper. All the parts supplied with
the kit are stock Ghia items (calipers, pads, rotors, grease seals, and bearings) making spare parts easy
to find!
You can use the original Super Beetle master cylinder with this conversion. We include everything
you will need for the conversion. DOT approved steel braided brake lines, and our new brake line
holder clamps are now included with every kit! Also included are top quality bearings, seals, and high grade
mounting hardware.
