Excellent work Fred, I saw it a while back on the french forum, didn't realise it was all finished now
What did you do about a handbrake, I presume you lost that in the rear hub wiht the conversion?

thanks to everybody....
i'm going to try to answer to everybody:
Alex:
the front disk are from the front breacks of mercedes classe S but they need be machined because the diametre is too big of 2cm if i remember good
for the back, i've used the front disk of VW transporter but sorry i don't remember the exact model 
JP:
it is working perfectly, and i can tell you some young drivers with their GTi remember perfectly what happend to then on the road... :smt040
but for 'normal' use, it is perfect, you can cruise at 130km/h on the hightway without problems !
famous phil:
don't worry, you french is better than my english
ricola:
yes, for the adaptation i loose the handbreack, and for it i had to install the master cylinder for take the place of the old handbreacks |
