Beetle Front Brake Pads - 1973-79 - Kidney Shape 1 Hole Brake Caliper

This set of front brake pads is a good quality reproduction designed to fit calipers equipped with kidney-shaped, single-hole pads, commonly found on later VW Beetles and Karmann Ghias.

Each pad measures 65 x 52 x 16.5mm, ensuring the correct fit inside the factory calipers for effective braking performance and safe stopping. The friction material is engineered to deliver consistent, fade-resistant braking under normal driving conditions.

Ideal for restoring or maintaining classic aircooled VWs, these pads are supplied as a complete set of four pads to service both front calipers (left and right wheels).

Note: Brake pad fitting kits are sold separately (see part number 311698152) and should be replaced if worn or corroded.

Features:

  • Kidney-shaped pads with single central locating hole

  • Dimensions: 65mm x 52mm x 16.5mm

  • Suitable for standard front disc brake calipers

Fitting Notes:

  • Inspect and clean caliper surfaces before installation
