True Classic
Just for fun I pulled out a spare set of front and rear disk brakes from a water cooled VW (Mk2-Mk4 era) and tried them on the X.
The front calipers can easily be adapted to the X with a simple adapter bracket (took me less than a hour to measure, design and build a set of test brackets...really don't see what all the fuss is about).
Pics would be great. I need images to assimilate data, the old xWeb threads are horrible like that, pages of text with no images to aid understanding. Are the VW radial or axial mount calipers? You have access to CNC machinery or a mill? Hard to visualize a safe adapter bracket that was banged out in 1/2hr or so, unless you have access to the appropriate machinery
