The way I did mine was using Bettle rotors and (inner bearing)Timken 30205M 9\KMI and (outer bearing)
SKF 32004 X/Q. The races where the original bearings were will need to be machined to except the new larger races. Inexpencive front brakes for a link pin beam.

Will the 6.70X15 v treads fronts mounts onto my spindle mounts i think they are 5x15 or would there be an advantage to go with cut hub and stock vw wheel if I'm not going to run front brakes at this time? thanks :D
