Beetle Front Wheel Cylinder - 1958-79 (Not 1302 + 1303 Models) - ATE

This top quality ATE front wheel cylinder is an OEM-standard replacement for the front drum brakes fitted to VW Beetles and Karmann Ghias manufactured between 1958 and 1964.

The wheel cylinder plays a vital role in your braking system by converting hydraulic pressure into movement of the brake shoes. Over time, original cylinders can corrode internally or leak, leading to a loss of braking performance or total failure. Replacing them with genuine ATE components ensures smooth, reliable braking exactly as Volkswagen intended.

This cylinder features a 22mm bore and 16mm slots, matching the dimensions of the original factory-fitted units.

Features:

  • Manufactured by ATE, a trusted OEM supplier

  • 22mm bore for correct hydraulic performance

  • 16mm slots for secure shoe engagement

  • Precision-cast body for leak-free operation

Fitting Notes:

  • Position: Front drum brake backing plate (left or right)

  • Always replace wheel cylinders in axle pairs for balanced braking

  • Flush old brake fluid and bleed system after installation

Applications:

  • VW Beetle: 1958–1964 (not 1302/1303 models)
