I'm thinking I might want to go with a bigger brake set-up. 
I have a
 late 85 with the cast arms, and know the big brake won't work with the 
early vans. 
But, at the junkyard there's an 86 vanagon. 
Just 
exactly what would I have to pull from the 86 ?

Bad news is that the caliper was designed for a sub 3000lb van, not  a 4000
lb one...


I honestly don't understand why anybody would go to the trouble and expense
of renewing the rotors and calipers when for not much more money they could
bring the van into the late 20th century with VanCafe's Big Brake Kit.
