Which brake pads should be used?

The original brake pads from the brake caliper, which is required for our conversion kit, must always be used.

Can I use other brake calipers as indicated in the required components?

No, unfortunately that is not possible, the reason being that all brake calipers have different height and depth measurements. If another brake disc is installed, the brake caliper would either not fit the adapter at all or not run centrally to the brake disc. If you want to install a different brake caliper, we also have an option for you. You can have a custom-made product manufactured, check out the following link for more information:

Can I also use other discs as specified in the required components?

No, unfortunately that is not possible. The reason is simply that all brake calipers have different height and depth measurements. If a different brake disc is installed, the brake caliper would either not fit on the adapter at all or would not be centered with the brake disc. However, if you want to install a different brake caliper, we also have an option for you. You can have a custom-made product produced, have a look at the following link for more information: https://epytec.de/uk/custom-made-products/brake-technology/adapters-for-brake-systems

Why does the drilling of the brake disc fixing not match the wheel hub when converting the brakes?

In brake system modifications, OE components from different vehicle models are often combined. Although all functionally relevant dimensions are coordinated, the position of the hole for the standard brake disc fixing screw may differ from the threaded hole in the wheel hub. This is design-related and not an indication of a wrong brake disc or a faulty fit—provided that the components specified in the product description are used.The fixing screw is solely used to temporarily hold the brake disc on the wheel hub with the wheel disassembled. It does not perform the centering or the force-fit fastening of the brake disc.The centering is done depending on the modification over the centering collar of the wheel hub or an included centering ring. When mounting the wheel, the brake disc is flat and force-fit clamped against the wheel hub flange together with the rim using the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.The standard fixing screw is not used in this case. Drilling or machining the brake disc or the wheel hub is neither required nor intended.

My brake caliper is not exactly centered over the brake disc - what should I do?

If your brake caliper is not exactly centered over the brake disc, in most cases it is not a problem. Depending on the vehicle, model year, and mileage, axle tolerances can occur – and this even in newer vehicles.The most important thing is:👉 The brake caliper must have sufficient clearance on the left and right to the brake disc so that nothing rubs or permanently touches it.Many brake calipers also have locking bolts. It may happen that:there is very little clearance on one side or the bolt lightly toucheswhile on the other side there is more playThis is generally not critical.🔧 This is how you proceed:Install brake pads:First check if the brake pads can be inserted cleanly and without resistance on both sides.If everything fits:If installation is possible without problems, you can simply gently push back the locking bolts – this usually resolves the issue.If it jams:If the brake pads cannot be installed, or only with difficulty, on one side, action is required.In this case, you can:slightly shim the adapter with suitable bushings to adjust the brake caliperor – depending on the situation – slightly mill the adapter so that the brake caliper is correctly centered again👉 The goal is always that the brake caliper is evenly aligned with the brake disc and the brake pads are seated freely and cleanly.

Advantages of this brake system are::

Top deceleration values
no more overheating and fading of the brakes
Very favorable procurement of the components
TÜV registration with supplied material certificate possible
Quick and easy assembly by supplied screws!
including brand new wheel hubs with wheel studs

Required conversion components::

Brake discs 268x10 height 45,7 from VW Sharan 2.8 VR6 (7M8, 7M9, 7M6) (1995 ) VW NR: 7M0615601

matching brake caliper holder OE NR :1H0615426
Brake pads OE NR: 1H0698451F VW Golf 3 4 G60 VR6 etc.
it must be checked whether possibly longer wheel bolts for the rear wheel hub must be used, when using e.g. track plates or the rim thickness.
Handbrake cable from VW Golf 2 and Jetta OE NR: 191609721D Length: 1840/1220mm

Advantages::

Extreme deceleration values also in conjunction with our rear axle brake system.
Due to the material certificate included in the scope of delivery, a registration by individual acceptance can also be made possible for series vehicles
Direct fit to above mentioned models and therefore at any time problem-free again into the original condition re-toolable

Scope of delivery:

2x brake caliper holder
2x new manufactured wheel hubs
matching centering rings
material certificate
Complete set of high strength bolts for both sides.

We provide a material certificate for this adapter, allowing the TÜV inspector to easily register the adapter.

Tips, information and hints:

For a better ventilation of the brake system, we recommend removing the dust cover plates and brake anchor plates.
We can not answer generally, which rim size you can mount after your brake conversion. There are simply too many different rims.
In rare cases it is possible that the rims touch minimal the brake caliper, then you can simply use spacers. >> Now directly to spacers <<
Install the adapter with the necessary components and then check if new brake lines are required. Because, depending on the vehicle, the lines may be too short or the line tips may not suitable. We advise you to change to steel braided brake line because of the quality and technical advantage. Specifically for this, we have developed an online brake line configurator, where you can assemble the type of steel braided brake lines you want. Click here to go to the >> configure steel braided brake lines <<
Always use the hand brake cable of the installed brake caliper. So sometimes you have to modify / adapt the new handbrake cable. For conversions, where the original caliper is used and the handbrake cable can be used, you may need to pull the cable without any other fittings (ie directly) to compensate for the long distance due to the large diameter of the large brake discs.

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.
