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

[c.dreike]

I spoke with Andy this afternoon at So Cal Auto Parts. Looks like I have 
an oddball bus and the disk brakes will not fit without modifying either 
the wheel or the brake caliper. Andy could not confirm the amount of 
interference. He did say that he will modify the web site to clarify 
that the kit will not fit that early 64 bus with 15" wheels.

Sadly,
Chris
