[VB] 14" vs 15" wheels (c.dreike)

[Conrad Klahn]

Hi Chris,

I have the SACO brake Willwood setup on the front of my ’65 bus with stock bus 15” rims. Let me know if you need any more details.

I thought the current setups available are similar and should work - do you think there was a change in caliper availability. What calipers are they using?
