someone's considering converting rear drum brakes to discs on his Audi 80
front-wheel drive machine.
I spent time looking through ETKA trying to figure out what parts can be
used that could be sourced locally. I'm in a country where the 80/90 is a
very rare thing.
Some parts are available from the type-44, others need to be bought new, and
the list's good friend Chris Semple over at Force 5 Auto has good prices on
some other required parts.
But in all my looking and checking I overlooked the entire rear axle. Ooops.
Seems this needs to be swapped for one from a 80 with rear discs. I
suspected it, but only noticed it when I finally got pics of the 80's drums.
There's no mounting or the calipers on the axle.
Short of having to bring a complete rear axle into the country, what can be
done with this to fit rear discs?
Doh! Typical dumb me.
