Spacer adaptors (Drums)

[Dan:)]

Can you put hubcentric spacers/adaptors on rear drum brakes or do you need to convert to discs??

[cheys03]

Yes, you can use spacers with suitably longer bolts.
Have you considered some of these:

Thanks is the only way to adapt the rear drums to 5 stud by changing the shoe's cover with a 5 stud mk3 version or would that be too large??

[Dan:)]

Or would I have to get the holes filled and redrilled?? If so do you know anyone who does that in Rutland area??

use a mk3 golf rear drum setup! its a common conversion for better rear brakes as there large and will come in the 5x100 you desire

[youngprodigys]

might be passat drums... i know you can get some 5x100 drums whatever they are off anyway
