4 bolt to 5 bolt conversion

Reg Bonneau 7 March 2005 06:10:59
 I have a 68 Baja Bug that I want to convert from 4 bolt to wide 5 bolt
wheels (rear is not a problem....front is). Without going to link pin
suspension....is there a way to do it with stock VW parts or is there an
aftermarket wide 5 brake drum that takes the small bearings.
Thanks,
Reg

'66 was the first year for balljoint, and stayed wide-5 until August
1967. couldn't say if they would work on a later chassis though.

 My 68 Bay is wide 5 .

Dont know if that helps, but I know your can get 72 disks (4bolt) to
bolt straight on .

 Only thing is the master cylinder is different and I don't think the rear
drums are a straight swap.'72 Bay discs are small 5 lug.The 4 lugs are Bug
brakes.
