From Drum to Disc… and Everything Went Sideways! VW Bus Brake Conversion Weekend!

From drum to disc… and everything went sideways this weekend.** The plan was simple: start the front disc brake conversion on my 1963 VW Bus and get the new dual master cylinder installed. But as soon as the parts hit the spindle, it became clear something wasn’t right — the bearings and rotors didn’t match the setup, and progress came to a halt. That’s real garage life. In this video, I tear into the front brakes, start the disc brake conversion, and run into the kind of parts mismatch that can stop a project in its tracks. We also prep the new master cylinder and get ready for installation — but the actual install and bench bleeding will have to wait for the next round once the correct parts are sorted out. No shortcuts, no sugar-coating — just honest progress, real setbacks, and figuring it out one weekend at a time. Next step: Hopfully get the correct rotors and bearings matched to the spindles, finish the front disc brake conversion, and install the new dual master cylinder. --- *1963 VW Bus Disc Brake Conversion* *VW Bus Front Brake Upgrade* *Dual Master Cylinder Upgrade* *VW Type 2 Brake Repair* *Classic VW Bus Project* *Garage Build Weekend* *Air-Cooled VW Maintenance* *Volkswagen Bus Restoration* *Drum to Disc Brake Conversion* If you enjoy real-world builds, troubleshooting, and learning as we go, hit that subscribe button and follow along as we keep pushing this project forward.
