ass-backwards bus master
« on: August 30, 2010, 01:54:43 PM »
So what do the guru's recommend for a 1960 splitty with a dropped bay beam with disc brakes

The little csp 170 buck bay conversion? for a plastic top and small billet adapter for later or just run a splitty master?

The split master is single circut, not great. A 67 bus master is dual circut but rare and $$$ Best bet use the late bus master  with spacer from cip/ wolfgang int. Or if you need more stoping power a 944 master but then you need to "t" in a brake light switch.

Im not the guru you may be looking for, but I agree with Geoff.
I'm running the late bus master with spacer clean simple and cheap... (after you pay the $170 lol).

That spacer piece on the Samba looks to be about 3/4" thick.  You could make that pretty quick.  You or Les must have some aluminum laying around.

If your making one it's about an inch thick with a step in the middle for the boot to sit against. I would just buy one from Wolfgang they are cheap
