BugZone.net has these complete brake systems to replace like most of the brake system. the shoes, master cylinder and all that stuff. i looked to go order it and its just for 58 and up beetles. does anyone know where i can find a brake kit for a 57? thanks

| BFYObsolete, Wolfsburg West, and Vintage supply all have what you need, but if the car isnt being kept "original" I would upgrade to the 58-64 set. |

| oh a 58-64 set would fit? cause thats the only thing i was worried about. i dont really care about keeping the brakes original. i just want it to work well. |

To go from the 57 to 58 brakes you will also need backing plates, wheel cylinders and drums.

| use right backing plate on left and left on right if keeping 57 e-brake cables or upgrade to 58 cables and they will be shorter and go in front of backing plate not rear like og 57.. |

| oh ok thanks. well the set comes with shoes, cables, cylinders and something else that i cant really remember. so i would have to get the other shit like the drums and stuff. would that be something that i could like pick up from a junk yard or something. like of of a junked 58-64? or if im doing that should i just upgrade to like a later 60's brake system? would that be better? thanks |
