Bugs: converting from disc back to drum...

Post by Merlin »

...as the topic states, I'm thinking of converting my '67s disc-mod'd rear back to drum...how hard is this to do? Do I just replace the beam, etc. or what?

Why would you need do do that ???? If you have to then it should be a swop over no problem, you would only need to check if you have short axles or long axles. If I recall correctly you have IRS so you will have long axles, then 4x130 PCD beetle drums & backing plate will bolt on, if you intend on going this route we can talk a deal cause I have a set of drums that will fit your 4x130 PCD wheels, let me know.
For what it's worth, ignorance has no limits ......

Hey calooker,

At this stage it's only a thought...

Quite frankly I'm not sure why I'm thinking of doing it, I 'spose it's more of a curiosity...

This bug is not IRS, I turned that IRS chassis down as it needed major rust repairs.

Cheers, N.
