hi all, can anyone tell me , if i was to buy the later type front stub axles for my bus and fit them to my 1982 t25 , would i need to change anything else or is the rest compatible . can anyone tell me the difference between the two? i want to know this because im upgrading to vented discs and i dont think they fit the early type stub axle. am i wrong in thinking this ? thats alot of questions i know but before i fork out the £300 for the discs i need to know if there gonna fit. thank you ben

late calipers and carriers n hoses (bearings too, depending on what/how discs are going on), unless you are fitting different calipers as well?

How much more power you installing? as an early set up works very well (as does late) if all fresh and fit..... :wink:

there are various brake upgrade kits , some use early stubs , some use late ones.

the stubs physically fit the van , but bearings/ calipers are different
