Hubs?

[flat]

It's easy,

Find another vehicle with the same bearings and bearing spacing as yours and you're set. It'll take a huge amount of resources (time and trips to the junkers) to figure it out. And to tell you the thruth, for the T1 (Beetle) platform, I haven't found anything yet....

For the record the T1 bearings are:
races: L45410 inner, LM11710 outer
bearings L45449 inner, LM11749 outer

Good luck,

Lanner

Does this have anything to do with Karmann Ghia-based hubs (~72.3mm) and typical 4x100 or 5x100 VW water-cooled wheels having a 57.1 hub hole?

(This is like playing darts in the dark.)

If it is, you can have your front wheels* machined to fit as I did, or you can get Lanner's Golf-based brakes in either pattern and not have any worries.

Although I am very happy with what I have, I probably would have gone the latter route if I were doing this today. Furthermore, if I find that my current front brakes could use an improvement after the drivetrain upgrade, I still might get Lanner's brakes.

* The rear wheels did not need machining.

I was mostly wondering about difficulty 'cause I like the Wilwood Outlaw brakes.

Well, at least I didn't go hunting with the Vice President.

Who is Lanner? Do you have any contact info? Are Lanner's brakes for popular stud patterns like 5x100 or 4x100?
