VW Super Beetle Disc Brake Upgrade! Make you Beetle Stop Like A Modern Car. 

Thanks man! Hey, does this mean I can half 1/2 of your stuff?

@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs that was the OLD Negan. The new Negan left the NWO and joined the good guys after Rick showed him mercy & grace by sparing his life at the conclusion of the war with the Saviors. BTW: Was hoping to purchase some swag/merch to support the channel, however the website link led to a default landing page. Also, real bummer on the scissor lift still not being back in stock circa 2024. Really enjoyed your three-year long term review.

Most certainly! I am blessed to have nearly every tool a mechanic may need, but it took me 30 years to collect them all.

You got that right!

Right? This is one way to be certain you'll stop in the mountains!

As much as I hate to sweat, I really hate it when I can't feel my hands from touching all that cold metal! This was filmed on a VERY chilly week over the winter. Even with the wood stove and a kerosene heater, it was still stilling at 30 in the shop.

Glad you enjoyed it- I appreciate the comments

Go for it!

It was Super cold when I filmed it. I couldn't feel my hands from touching all that cold metal. Not today! Today, I'm sweating it out on the same car! Newly rebuilt engine going to be installed here in the next few days.

I have found the rears to be unneeded as well. Save your money and just do the fronts!

Good luck!

Happy to help!

Thanks man! It was a labor of love building this thing, but it's super fun to drive and people love to see it on the road. These were once everywhere and now they are all but extinct.

Glad it was helpful!

Awesome, thank you!

Cool to know-

Wow, thank you!!! Glad it helped!!

They are!

Shifter bearing are a bear--

Thank you

good tip. thanks

Thank you so much! Every bit helps. I have a LOT of new bus and bug content coming over the next 12 months. I bought a huge pile of cars!

I wondered the same thing. My best guess is that it saved them maybe a buck per set not to have it done.

@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs BTW, I really like your lift. I'm tired of my floor jack (getting old). Can you tell me the brand & model of you lift ?

Was that a simple swap?

Thanks for the sub!

Thanks

It is an EMPI kit that I got from eBay. Hope that helps!

@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs I see that available on jbugs but they offer a couple of different options.

I've never been a fan of loctite unless it was called for by the manufacturer.

There are a few mods that can really make a difference

The kit came from Ebay. It fits 71 to 79 VW Super Beetles.

No, not at all. works with everything else 100% stock.

It should, good luck with yours!

I have not done a rear disc conversion. I also haven't ever lowered a car, but I've raised one. Check my video on that as it should be much the same.

they have available rear disc made by Frum from brazil so can use 914 rear caliper

I got this one from Harbor Frieght, but they are out of stock now. You can get the same one on eBay. Look for "Mid-ride scissor lift" and order the cheapest one you find. With shipping looks like less than 1500.

100% not worth the money. Front brakes do 80% of the braking. No change will be felt.

I don't, I would just shop around to see where you could get the best deal

I don't mention prices anymore due to inflation. What I paid a few years ago is not what you would be paying today.

No, these work with the stock spindles.

@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs is this only for the super beetle though? And not on 1.2 72 ? 🤙

No, the stock master cylinder works just fine.

That is a Harbor Freight Automotive Scissor lift. I have a great video on it.

An are you on a piece of 2x4 for that front lift point? I need to do front beam work and want to get a mid-rise lift. Thanks.

That is the wonderful Harbor Freight mid-rise scissor lift. I have a video on it.

@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs Ok so I'll assume you're putting the lift arms on the torsion bars. How are you placing the lift arms up front? It looks like a 2x4 is in there. I'm looking at the bend pak MD-6XP, similar to this lift, and am wondering how I'll place the front arms to not crush anything.

This is the Harbor Freight Mid-rise scissor lift. It's out of stock now, but units just like it are available on eBay. Great to own!

@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs THANKS.
