Some years ago I read that brad Roberts was building these hubs that would allow us 4 lug guys the chance to use vented rotors. Apparently for some reason they can't be found anywhere. I have invested $$$ in aftermarket wheels and want to stay with 4 lugs.
Does anyone here have any information about these hubs? Maybe drawings or something, so I can have a set machined. Thanks Zach |

If the drawings can't be found, I have a set of these machined hubs sitting on my shelf. I took them off when I took my car to get inspected by the TUV and never put them back on. Someone could borrow one of them to get pertinent measurements.

Today I have installed the Kerscher front brake
So here's the summary of the installation 1. Kerscher wheels fit plug and play 2. Original wheel bearings installed. Beetles and 914 have the same wheel bearing. 3. The washer from 14er (the outside between the wheel bearing and clamping screw comes) from Bearing Kit beetle does not fit properly. So the original disk used by the 14er. Same dimensions only the groove is shorter. The wheel bearing screw is just under 1mm further out but is fully supported on the thread. 4. Dust sheets must be reduced because the brake disc 5 mm is more inward. The brake disc schleifft so on dust sheet. Since I'm gonna still looking for alternatives. 5. Caliper (911 or 914/6) with 76mm hole spacing to fit Approx 4-5mm spacer rings must be backed so that the saddle again running in the center of the disc between the brake caliper and receptacle. These spacers are also important so that there is enough space between caliper and rim. Although not without grinding rings but this is very closely at the ATS. 6. The brake lines can be taken. 7. The original dust caps for the wheel bearing adjust. The install is very Easy. Washer must be installed. The Axle strud ist not too short..Look here |
