Talbot Horizon Brake Caliper Upgrade for VW Bug Beetle Brakes Volkswagen

Hi, welcome to #05 Talbot Horizon Front Brakes Upgrade for VW Bug Beetle. In this vid I'm showing how we fitted the Talbot Horizon front brake calipers to my 1972 VW Beetle. Its only a small performance upgrade over stock Bug calipers but a relatively easy swap if you can find some, heres how to do it. :-)
(If your looking for high performance gains there are other options now available on the market tho be careful not to overbrake the front of a bug, there isn't much weight up front and if not careful will just lock up).

Oh and I know I'm not going to get a job in Photoshop! was just a bit of fun LOL :)

I believe my Calipers are Talbot Horizon 1973-3 to 81. (Possibly also fitted on: Simca 1100 Ti 74 to 78, Talbot Rancho 77-6 to 81)
Though there does seem to be some confusion as to which to use. The Keith Seume book suggests using the later ones according to this site where you can see the differences.

For reference the porsche 944 rear brakes I mention are stock from early steel A arm setup. I think these changed after 86.
