From your online help I found the engine to be a 1600 dual port. Now! how do I make this thing STOP without standing with all my weight on the brakes? I have the brake shoes adjusted as good as I can get... Can you convert to disk brakes? Also how do I identify the frame or rear end they used? You can convert to Disc Brakes but that usually cost quite a bit to do so. What I did was to use the Super Beetle brake cylinders. You'll need to open the mounting screw hole a bit but i found a #2 Unibit works fine for this. I also had to trim the feet on the pads slightly but now it stops without any proems. Also make sure you have the proper leverage on your brake pedal as well, having the connection for your master cylinder as low as possible or do what I did and use a lever to convert the direction of the pedal.
