It's a nearer swap, when did IFS come in?

IVF can be handy

[FredTransit]

Just so long as you don't have an IUD! Would be a waste otherwise.....

I have a mk2 and i have 6nuts mk3 singlewheel axles in back and front. In back there was some welding to do, but in the front it was "easy"... just take all the wheelhub down in pieces, and fit the mk3 hub... that is mk2 campervan not mk1, but change the whole hub include the mounting at the axle. is the most difficult but it will work...

Surely it's easier to do the whole axle, that way you can have the new on refurbed when it's off, new bearings and kingpins if need be.undo the U bolts and the brake pipes and you are in business.

are you saying the diskbrakes off a mk3 with independent front suspension fit a mk2 with leaf springs?

Started the simple job of changing the pads, then thought ill do the discs while im at it, now i have realised i need new bearings and calipers (cant find rebuild kit anywhere)

so can i get a set of mk3 stuff and fit that? or do i need mk2 recon calipers?

No I am saying a Mk3 with a beam axle will fit, and I don't know exactly when the IFS came in.

IFS came in on the Mk3 SWB in 86, the LWB stayed with beam axle up to the Mk4.

[FredTransit]

Ah right, that's why I was thinking the Mk3 has a beam axle, up to recently we didn't have a SWB of any kind and I didn't look at them.

[mike c]

ah right, i thought all mk3s were IFS, i could easily be wrong

ive done a few searches and was also thinkin of upgrading to vented, but it seems that involves having 6 stud too - which i dont want.

im gonna have to fork out for recon calipers and stick with the solid discs, ah well

[mike c]

im happy again, the local motor factors can get bearings, pads and calipers in for tomorrow morning and the calipers are only 40 odd quid! lets hope they are all right!

means i can get these sorted asap!

Just read this again. Did the Mk3 have 6 stud singe wheels? I thought it was a Mk5 thing and later, but could be wrong.
