Re: KLUGEWERKS Disc Brake Conversion Kit Updates

Good to know. I'm heading to rockwall TX on the 29th and I'm going to run over to Andres to pick up some tank/battery box guards he made for me. I'll pick his brain on the conversion when I see him!

There are plenty of practice exam sites and after a few attempts and before reading anything on the topic, I managed to get passing scores.

WTB : Pinzgauer Electric Steering Kit

If anyone bought the kit and changed their minds I would be interested in a unused/never mounted kit. Willing to pay retail price for an unopened unit.

Re: KLUGEWERKS Disc Brake Conversion Kit Updates
