Just use one from a later beetle with disc brakes.Your old standard drum brake one will be a single circuit type,the disc brake ones have two circuits,one for the front and one for the rear.Make sure you get the one with the bolt holes the same way as your old one...Brake lines(hard lines) are the same ,just move to suit the M/cylinder.He sells the brakes with the proper flexible lines as part of the kit.HTH:party

it will work with the single circuit master cyl, but as Mick said, go to the twin circuit. It's a better proposition just in case you have a circuit fail. I've got the sherman brakes on mine and they work well. Maybe even a bit too well for light fronted car like my buggy. 🙄
