Which Brake shoes?
HI All,
To save ordering the wrong parts....
Can you tell me if this is the 58-65 series of brakes? OR is it 65-67?? Seems every seller has his own version of what's what. SO that doesn't help
me in th' sticks wanting a new set. (As you can see the top shoe has about 2mm of material left so its time to change these and the spider web
too)
Its off my 67 deluxe (Narrow Nose 1300 with beam front end)
Seems every supplier has parts but not real sure what to get.
ANY guidance would be good. Professional guidnace would be reallll good and a www link.
Cheers,
Ian

Take them off and get them relined at a brake specialis,t takes a few days, this woulds be the simplest solution as it avoids all the substandard
parts that are on offer.

Probably don't have a great number of brake relining specialists "in the sticks?"

you will need to know the ID of your drums so the shoes can be radiused.

Probably the best online option in Australia at present are Just Kampers. Their preservation parts line are meant to be good quality so heres the link
for what you need if your current shoes are 40mm wide
64> Beetle front brake shoes
You can buy seal kits for the wheel cylinders from Ebay USA but this is only handy if the bores of the cylinder aren't badly scored/corroded and you
could use the Stanley honing device that Supercheap sell to clean up the bore.

Do not forget to radius the shoes to suit your drums, hence the ID of the brake drum is required. buying of line probablty get you a set of shoes with
the standard radius and probably not fit your old drum.

But then he'd need to machine the wear lip off the drum to get a good measurement or access to a large pair of calipers to measure the drum ID where
the shoes have worn.
But hey, least this all gives the guy options to choose from

Thanks to everyone's suggestions and information.
Good news is I took my shoes along to a Sydney (VW parts) supplier and got a new set (and kept my old ones). Very correct about radius, and luckily
someone has replaced the drums about 16 years ago so I should be right... I hope.... Now... to just sandblast the backing plates and hardware........I
have dressed shoes to fit old drums before, thanks for the reminder.
Cheers,
Ian
