Car Forum / Volkswagen / Air Cooled Volkswagen Cars / August 2005Help!!! Brake shoes from hell!
I am so hoping that someone can help me. I own a 76 VW Trike. The engine is out of a 76 VW Beetle and I thought that the rearend was too. Here is my problem, I have no rear brakes at all. My rear brake shoes are down to the metal. I ordered what I thought was the right shoes (ones for a '76 beetle) and they are too wide. The length is correct, but the width isn't. I need a shoe that measures 9.06 X 1 3/16 the only brake shoes I can find measure 9.06" X 1.57. I am thinking that maybe they used a different VW rearend just have no idea what kind. Would anyone know what kind of a rearend would take those kind of brake shoes? Or where I could find them? I am desprate! Thanks so much! Not sure, as I don't have any old shoes handy, but you may need the brake shoes for an early Bug...say from around '60-'64. I believe they were thinner than the later ones. > I am so hoping that someone can help me. I own a 76 VW Trike. The > engine is out of a 76 VW Beetle and I thought that the rearend was too.

Dane is correct; you need an earlier year. '65 thru '67 models used 30mm (1.181") rear shoes. In '68 it went to 40mm (1.574").  SignatureSpeedy Jim http://www.nls.net/mp/volks/ Thank you so very much!!! I found them and they are going to work great!!!!! On the road again :-) You need the 67 and back shoe set, was part # 111 698 051A. They were 230x30mm. Fit up to 117 999 000 From 118 000 001, the shoes are 230x40mm. 113 698 075 > I am so hoping that someone can help me. I own a 76 VW Trike.
