Beetle to Thing part swappable brake system information;
Courtsey of Eric/Uber Auto Werks
At least for us with orginal drum brakes systems.
[Doublecanister]
As I previously stated, makes it easier on obtaining local parts without
the " you drive a what? a Thing, what the heck is that?" questions.
Or my favorite so far: the local Napa jerk, you drive a Vw? you'll be one of my best customers soon..." remarks... TT.
Again I thank Eric for providing!
Courtsey of Eric/Uber Auto Werks ;
- I think I covered every stock brake part except the pedal and the blue hose. Let me know if I missed any.
- These number apply to ALL I.R.S. ('73 and later) Things, 181's, 182's, Treker's and Safari's. If you have a swing axle car ('72 and down) the front parts still apply but the rear gets goofy fast!
- "ALL" denotes Standard Beetle OR Super Beetle
Enjoy and don't overpay for "Thing only" parts that aren't!!

I've had ACVW's for like 25-years now. I've always told the parts guy something like:
"I need the thingamajig that hooks to the doo-hickey"
Today, I bought a brake parts, with VW part #'s in hand (thanks to this sticky). The shop owner was so happy, I thought he was going to crawl over the counter and give me a hug. He know the #'s from memory and got exactly what I needed in about 30-seconds.
Ya learn something every day. 8) |

| So 68-77 beetle rear 4 lug drums won't just bolt up? I need to find a rear drum that I can have drilled to I can bolt up my 15x7in Fuch's. the wide 5 adapters make the rims stick out past the fenders in the rear. Front is OK because I have a disc brake conversion and a narrowed beam. Anyone have some advise? |

Rabid,
I don't see why you can't use the 4lug drums on your 181. I went the other way of installing the 181 rear drums on Bug rear supensions.
The type 181 add about 1/2in track width to each side. So going to the Bug drums you should have that much extra clearance in fender well. |

| Well I got a set of late 4lug drums that were drilled and studded. Also got a set of spacers that allow the axel nut to be tightend down all the way. I am pretty sure it will work. I will let you all know Sunday when I try to bolt them up. |
