VW T3 BUS Caliper Adapter Brake Caliper Audi Ate 57 288x25 15-inch Brake System

  • ✓ 288x25 4A0 615 301 Audi A4 Quattro / Audi A6 brake disc
  • ✓ 1-piston Girling / ATE 57 4A0615123A / 4A0615124A Audi 100 /A6 brake caliper
  • ✓ front axle

We finally designed a brake caliper adapter that be installed on the T3 2WD bus (not Syncro) under the 15-inch rims.

The adapters are mounted with 288x25 mm internally vented brake discs and with the Audi A6 calipers.

Advantages:

  • top deceleration
  • system no longer warms up and no more fading
  • very cheap components. you can find second-hand caliper from 49.- € / new from 70.-€
  • thanks to the material certificate supplied with the order, it is possible to register your purchase
  • possible quick and easy assembly with the supplied mounting screws

Required components:

  • brake discs 288x25 mm Audi A4 Quattro, Audi A6 z.B. OE-number:
    4A0 615 301 C (VAG), 4A0 615 301 D (VAG), 4A0 615 301 E (VAG), 8E0 615 301 Q (VAG) other comparaison number:
    V10-80049 (VAICO), 100.1216.20 (ZIMMERMANN), 100.1216.70 (ZIMMERMANN) 
  • bracke calipers Audi 100/A6 C4 Girling/ ATE 57  reference : 4A0615123A/4A0615124A (left, right)
  • brake caliper brackets required for mounting the 288th brake system. Part No.:4A0615125A(required because of the shorter shape of these brackets)
  • Brake Pads Original Parts NR VW 4A0698151A (We also have matching ones from EBC in our assortment (see accessories on this page below)

Only suitable with the 14 inch axle of T3 (you can see it with the screws fixing the calipers. The thread should be 16 mm)

Because of the thickness of the brake discs, the track is widened by 7mm for each side.

Important!!!

So that you can bleed the brake system cleanly, we recommend to mount the brake calipers reversed, i.e. to mount the left brake caliper on the right vehicle side and the right brake caliper on the left vehicle side.

Delivery:

  • adapter system for brake caliper
  • complete set of high-strength screws for both sides
  • hub centric rings for the discs
  • matching wheel hubs
  • material certificate
  • stress analysis

Tips, information and advice:

  • To improve ventilation of the brake system, we recommend removing the anchor plates/brake dust plates.
  • For easy mounting of the rim, we recommend purchasing two of our wheel mounting aids at the same time >>go directly to the article here<<
  • We cannot give you a generalised answer as to which rim size you can ride after your brake conversion. There are simply too many different wheel rims. For this reason, we have developed a template with which you can easily check whether the brake system kit fits under your rim. We have included a link to the template in the description. If your rim does not fit, you can simply use wheel spacers. >> Go directly to customised wheel spacers <<
  • Install the adapter with the required components and then check whether new brake lines are required, as the old ones may not be long enough or the connection may not fit, depending on the model. Due to the significantly better efficiency, we recommend switching to steel braided lines. We have developed a steel braided line configurator especially for this function, which you can use to assemble and then install them according to your requirements. Click here for the steel flex configurator >> Configure steel flex brake line <<
  • The handbrake cable must always be used from the installed calliper, which means that the new handbrake cable may have to be adjusted slightly. For conversions in which the original calliper is still used and the original handbrake cable can be used, you may have to route it more directly to compensate for the larger disc diameter and longer travel

Please note that our articles have been designed for racing and motorsport. Use in public road traffic usually requires an individual approval in accordance with § 21 StVZO by an officially recognised expert. Further information can be found under TÜV Süd. For the individual approval, we will provide you with an expert opinion or material certificate, if available.

Ich habe die Teile zwar noch nicht verbaut, machen aber einen ganz guten Eindruck. Der Support von Epytec war sehr freundlich und schnell. Kann ich so weiter empfehlen ! Danke, Stefan.

Epytec ist bekannt für seine Qualität.Leider war die Verpackung für so schwere Ware nicht sehr gut.Der Karton ist ringsum aufgerissen gewesen,und die Kleinteile waren aus der Tüte herausgefallen und im Zerissenen Karton umher gekullert.Lediglich dem vielen Paketband war es zu verdanken,dass die Kleinteile daran kleben geblieben sind und somit vollzählig hier ankamen.

Product is fine but the identical product and I mean identical is offered from your competitors 15-20% and just to be positive I ordered the identical parts from TA Technixs and they are 100% the same parts but cheaper

Produkte alle Top Auflistung der benötigten Bremsteile nicht ganz vollständig. Bei der vorderen Bremse fehlt der Hinweis auf die Führungshülsen der Bremssättel und die Führungsklammern für die Bremsklötze. Die aufgeführten Handbremsseile sind nicht plug and play, die müssen an den vorderen Enden eingekürzt werden oder die Zugstange nach vorne muß geändert werden.

Der Adaptersatz ist absolut passgenau und einfach zu installieren - wenn man Erfahrung hat. Werr glaubt als Laie hier bei der Firma Epytec beraten und bei Fragen unterstützt zu werden liegt allerdings falsch. Diesem Produkt liegt keine Einbaualeitung bei. Man muss sich also selbst zusammenreimen wie die einzelnen Bauteile zusammengehören, was ich bei einem Sicherheitsrelevanten Teil wie einer Bremsanlage bedenklich finde. In einem Anruf zwecks Beratung vor dem Kauf wurde mir gesagt, daß die Kunden normalerweise wüssten was sie brauchen und diesbezüglich nicht beraten werden müssten. Also gabs auch keine Baratung für mich. Nach langem Selbststudium und erfolgtem Kauf stellte ich fest, daß es auch keine Anleitung gibt. Ich versuchte 3x telefonisch Unterstützung zu bekommen, doch nach 3x-iger ausführlichster Befragung zu meinen Kontaktdaten hieß es immer nur ich würde kontaktiert weil gerade kein Techniker zeit hat. Daß man vielleicht gerade bis zu den bremsenstaubverschmierten Ellenbogen im Kotflügel seine Autos steckt und weiterkommen möchte interressiert hier niemanden. Einmal kam zwar ein Rückruf, aber natürlich zu einer Zeit, zu der ein normaler Hobbybastler seiner geregelten Arbeit nach geht. Die anderen Male kam nur eine Mail mit dem Hinweis daß man eine Anleitung herunterladen kann, wenn es denn eine gibt und wenn nicht würde man es freudig begrüssen wenn man selber eine erstellt und der Firma Epytec zur Veröffentlichung überlässt. Nun, ganz auf mich alleine gestellt hab ich mich bei der Montage nur nach den Bildern aus dem Shop gerichtet und auf diese weise die Bremsanlage, hoffentlich auch richtig, eingebaut bekommen. Natürlich erstmal linken und rechten Bremssattel vertauscht eingebaut, da auf den Bildern von Epytec die Entlüftungsventile nach unten gezeigt haben statt nach oben. Aber beim Entlüften dann doch bemerkt, nochmal ausgebaut und seitenrichtig wieder eingebaut. Sowas nervt natürlich ungemein, deßhalb mein Fazit: Nur für Schrauber die sowa

  • Are the adapters also suitable for the transporter VW T3 Syncro 4WD?
  • No, these adapters are not suitable, because the Syncro does not have enough space for the ATE 57 brake system. That is the reason why we have developed an adapter with the Porsche 996 brake system for the Syncro and the brake disc. brake 288 adapter 439 (click here)

  • Can I also use other brake discs as specified in the required components?
  • No, unfortunately that is not possible. The reason is simply: all brake calipers have different heights and depths. If another brake disc is installed, the brake caliper would either not fit on the adapter or not run in the middle of the brake disc. But if you want to install a different brake caliper, we also have an option for you. You can have a custom-made product made for you, take a look at the following link for more information: https://epytec.de/uk/custom-made-products/brake-technology/adapters-for-brake-systems
