Just a quick question

** Wondering if kombi rear drums will fit onto type three

Cheers

Dont know, but early wide 5 type 3 rears will fit beetle axles as I have them on my split, you have to use the backing plates and it all bolts on.

Hoping to fit the five stud 102 pcd?

anyone?

No they won't fit, the spline in the middle is bigger on a Kombi drum

thanks dave

Hey Dave that depends on what year Kombi your talking about. Early Kombis up to August '63 share the same spline size as Type 3s and Beetles, the only difference being the length of the spline (Kombi being longer). Type 3s and early Kombis even shared the same rear brake shoes. We used to use Kombi drums on the rear of our rallye cars by machining of a portion of the outer spline section of the drum to make it the same length as the Beetle one. I've also seen 4 stud Type 3 drums fitted to early Kombi rear by fitting a spacer between the drum and nut (the oil seal collar is just right for this).
Cheers, Ian.
