splitty rear brakes
type82e - August 7th, 2003 at 07:56 PM

I need some splitty rear brakes its for a 65 "big nut" gearbox I have the backing plates and drum but no shoes, springs, clips, cylinders etc

do brakes from a later bay fit on as i have a 77 kombi wreck

do shoes and other bits from an earlier splitty fit ie 36mm "small nut" gearbox

Marcel,
the '77 shoes etc. should fit but the early ones wont as they are smaller diam. and narrower. I saw you were looking for an axle nut the other day, use the ones of the '77 there the same size thread but different shape nut (better).

apparently the brakes fron any kombi 64-67 (splitty) and early bay to 2/70? are the same so anyone out there have any lying around just the rear shoes springs clips and cylinders etc?
I can have the shoes rebonded no problems just need the cores
