These all new dropped spindles for Baywindow Buses are designed to fit all buses from 1973 to 1979.

Once installed they will lower the front of your Bay by 6cm.

They can be used with most alloy wheels and also the original 14″ steel wheel fitted to 1973 to 1979 models.

Due to the construction of the spindle the offset of the wheel will be increased by 10mm per wheel.  This means that the wheels will stick further out from their standard position by 10mm.

These new dropped spindles allow you to lower your Bus while keeping the original comfort.

This product has been designed to fit perfectly in place of your original spindle without modification, so all will work normally and the ball joints won`t go to limit of travel.

Will fit all years of bus but will only take the 1973 onwards brake system.

In August 1970 VW upgraded the front brakes on all Baywindow Buses from Drum Brakes to Disc Brakes. By doing this they also changed the wheel design and the PCD.

These wheels now had a smaller stud pattern of a PCD of 112mm. Commonly know as small 5 stud.

The first design of these brakes had a small narrow brake caliper. In July 1972 they changed the design of the brake caliper, disc and brake pads which were increased in size to achieve greater braking effiency.

These replacement brake pads are for the thicker style brake calipers that run from August 1972 through to July 1979. They are easily identified as they use a 14mm bolt to hold the caliper onto the spindle and not a 12mm bolt which was used on the earlier models.

These pads continued to be used on the next generation of VW Bus, The Type 25 or Wedge as it is commonly know. 

They were used in the Type 25 Bus from the start of production until July 1985.

Sold in a set of 4 brake pads to replace the pads in both front calipers.

55mm pad gap.
