its just as easy & inexpensive to buy NEW brake cylinders..
check out ebay plus aftermarket vw parts sellers who advertise on here...
If you still have the origional 2 bolt wheel cyclinders then give Vinatge a call, or if you have the latter ones they also have the kits available 9789-1777
they can do your beam as well.

I got those rear wheel cylinder kits off Classic Vee Dub at Rydalmere, they were about $45 each which was laughable,
& the 57 on were half the price of that

yep, it is in their monthly specials
but that is for the 1957 on models, the early ones are still really cheap though can't beleive I was gonna stuff round & get the old ones resleeved the actual rubber cups are available at most brake places from stock though, I got a couple up the rd before I found the cylinder was clagged

I was busy at work before, did not have time to say for general info, it is not good to ask for a wheel cylinder kit for an old car at brake places, these generally include the piston rubbers (or cups) which are the critical bits & the outer rubber seal which you rarely need another one of , & occasionally a spring or spacer which also arent necessary HOWEVER if you just ask for the rubber cups most brake places have em on the shelf for what is a nominal amount of money, or can get them in one day at most
I am sure you know this Rob, but a lot of people don't
