These replacement front brake pads are a high-quality reproduction set designed specifically for use on VW Beetles manufactured in 1972 only, when fitted with original factory calipers, and all VW Type 3 models from 1965 to 1971. They are also suitable for Buggy and Baja builds based on 1972 Beetle components.
This brake pad set features the 2-pin square design and measures 56mm x 53mm x 15mm, making it essential for matching the correct caliper type. Pads of this size were unique to a short production window and differ from those used in later or aftermarket conversions, so be sure to confirm your vehicle has original-style calipers.
Each set includes four pads, enough to service both front calipers. Whether you`re restoring a classic Type 3 or maintaining your 1972 Beetle, these pads will help deliver smooth braking and factory-correct performance.
