This set of front brake shoes is a good quality replacement designed to fit the front brakes of VW 1302 and 1303 Beetles (Super Beetles) from 1971 to 1979. It can also be used on the rear axle of VW Type 3 models—including Notchback, Squareback, and Fastback—from 1966 through to the end of production in 1973, specifically on 4-stud models.

Supplied as a set of four shoes, this kit provides everything needed to service one axle (two brake drums)—left and right sides. The shoes measure 46mm in width by 250mm in length, matching factory specifications for a secure fit and optimal braking performance.

Ideal for restoration or maintenance of your classic VW, these shoes are precision-made to offer smooth braking, reduced noise, and consistent friction across the contact surface. When fitting, it’s recommended to inspect and, if necessary, replace springs, adjusters, and other brake hardware to ensure proper operation and safety.

Applications:

• VW Beetle (1302 & 1303): 1971–1979 – Front

• VW Type 3 (Notchback, Squareback, Fastback): 1966–1973 – Rear (4-stud models)

• VW Buggy + Baja (based on 1302/1303 chassis): 1971–1979
