  View original topic: Vanagon Rear Brake Upgrade for Bay
Gruppe B Wed Oct 21, 2009 1:40 pm

I heard that Vanagon rear drum brakes can be fitted to the Baywindow.

I guess that the benefits of this would be that the brakes are self adjusting and that the drum is larger.

Has anyone tried this upgrade and what parts are needed?

I have a 1973 Westy under resto and a 1986 Vanagon for parts.

Is there a particular range of years to look for that have self adjusting brakes that fit, or will any year Vanagon have these?
