Ryan,
Yes the Maranello brakes are the same as CRG. You will need a complete front brake set up including: master cylinder, calipers, rotors w/ carrier, front hubs. I would suggest matching your current version rear brake (ven99, ven04, ven05 etc). Depending on the version, some use the same spindle as the non-front brake version, some use different tapered spindle.

The front brake disc hub on the ven05 KZ(shifter) brakes has two different size bearings because the stub axle on the spindles has a larger diameter on the inside then the outside. You might have to also change spindles if you convert via a KZ setup. I think CRG also makes a brake disc hub that has 25mm bearings on both ends but I'm not positive on that.

You'd have to find a fabricator, as spindles for karts without front brakes...


don't have the bracket needed to attach the caliper


Even then, you'd have to make sure that the should of stub axle is in the same place or create a custom spacer to that your hub carriers are in the correct position. Frankly, all in all, for time, money and peace of mind, you're better off just getting the spindles made for front brakes.
