Andy, I spoke to you a few weeks ago regarding a full setup for a VW Thing. Want to keep it as stock as much as possible. Are these correct #498550 front end, #133698601dwe rear end with emergency brake, #113611020bad master cylinder? Is there anything else I need?

Hi Dave,
Great to hear from you. Yes, these are the kit numbers that you will need. The front kit comes with braided stainless steel brake hoses. The only thing I would suggest is new matching rear hoses (two pieces – # 113611775ESS) and you will also need longer rear brake metal hard lines (two pieces – #113611764B)
Lastly, keep in mind that the brake kits will not work with the stock Thing 14″ steel wheels. You will need to upgrade to 15″ wheels!
Thanks,
Andy
