1302 + 1303 Beetle Front Brake Caliper Bracket Kit

Upgrade your aircooled VW braking system with these aftermarket front caliper brackets, designed to convert drum brake front ends on 1302 and 1303 Beetles to disc brake setups. These brackets provide a simple and effective solution, allowing you to fit original late Beetle disc brake components without the need to replace the existing drum brake stub axles.

Manufactured from strong cast iron, these brackets bolt directly onto the original front stub axles once the drum assemblies and backing plates have been removed. They act as the mounting point for the brake calipers, correctly positioning them over the brake discs to ensure proper braking performance and pad alignment.

This conversion is ideal for improving braking efficiency, heat dissipation and overall safety. Disc brakes offer better stopping power and more consistent performance compared to drums, particularly in wet conditions or under repeated braking.

To complete the conversion, you will typically require additional components including brake discs, calipers, caliper mounting bolts, brake pads, wheel bearings, grease seals and suitable flexible brake hoses. It is also recommended to check compatibility with your master cylinder and brake lines to ensure optimal system performance.
