Hi, just want to know if early 356 front drums fit beetle link pin or what mods are needed. Also do rear 356 drums also fit?

Not sure about a 356B, but 356A brakes bolt straight on to a link pin beetle front and rear.
I'm actually using a beetle disk brake kit on the front of my 356A.
Cheers

I've upgraded to a dual master cylinder for safety. I've spent too much on it to end up stacking it into the back of someone. I will also use it as a daily driver to drive to and from Sydney CBD every day in rush hour traffic, thats all.
Everything is reversible.

i run 356a drums all round on my 54 oval,you will require the porsche back plates,so try & obtain a full set of brakes if fitting,
the wheel cylinders are pricey to replace,i've just had the set of 4 for the front relined with stainless steel liners.
the 356 conversion is a great addition to an early car :thumb
