    1:45 the place for support is the protrusion into which you also put the original jack;)

    Wow, that 18 mm maching is easier than finding 86 and newer hubs for like 800-1000 USD, I am already running the mercedes axle nuts...excited...think I want to do this on my 85 T3... EPYTEC does not ship to USA or Canada.

    Excellent as always John. Suggestion ~ minute 4:00- I think people would like to have a pic to give to the machinist with a note showing the "80mm".

    Awesome - happy new year! I’d consider this kit if I wasn’t using stock steels as my winter wheels. It’d be fine for my summer 17s

      @janhalaxa1888 2 года назад

      Is there a problem with the stock steelies? I am looking for better brakes made up of available parts because of TDI swap and upgraded gearbox but I don't want to run alloys since my bus is ex-military and I want to preserve the look.

    • @Italjohn
      @Italjohn  2 года назад

      You need 16" rims to fit the 312mm disks. Epytec have a kit for the 15" wheels as well.

    ⁠Hi Johnny, could you inform me of the custom brake hose length please?

    • @Italjohn
      @Italjohn  Год назад

      Hi there. Here is the email from Brickwerks.
      Brake hose x2.
      End 1 - M10x1.0 Female as per VW T3.
      End 2 - M10x1.0 Male as per Sharan.
      Length of hose measured from tip to tip, end to end, the total length 480mm.
      Abrasion resistance as per T3 hoses, 2 pieces, one long for the chassis mounting, one short for the centre.
      *please note that the Sharan end is 45mm long from where the hose enter to the tip, it will protrude from the calliper by ~30mm

    I see a single piston caliper but no sliders meaning the pad will only push against the inner surface of the brake pads.
    Am I missing something?

      @@Italjohn I see it now. The Sharan brakes look a lot slimmer than the the one on my car. I do have the calipers from my old VR6 for the 313 brake discs. Been thinking of mounting it on to my Multivan for the past 8 years.

    You are starting the year 2021!

    I'm interested in the front brake conversion, I'm going to look at EPITEC!
    What about the back?

      I'm not sure what you mean by rectify the spindle? You MUST have 1986 or newer spindles to use the Epytec adapter kit. If you have 1985 or older like me, you will have to machine them.
