1965 Bug disc brakes

Does anyone know of anybody that offers a front disc brake kit for a
pre-66' bug with the king pin type front end ? I have had no luck
finding one and I am told that the ball joint type front end will not
bolt in to a 65' model bug either. Any clues or help would be
appreciated...........

Thanks Roger, that did help although I didn't realize they would be
that expensive. 700.00 is a lot for disc brakes knowing that if it was
a year newer with ball joints I could do it for 300.00. Thanks for the
info though..........

Nobody said it was cheap.. <G>
However it is cheaper than to redo the front after a colission 'cause you
couldn't brake fast enough..

Good luck,
Roger
