Hi all.
I have bought frontdrums(all parts with cylinders,spindles and stuff) from a typ3-64 to put on my typ3-72.
Is it just to bolt on or do i have to change something like brakelines,headcylinder? |

Let me get this right. You are switching from Disc brakes to drum brakes? Why would you do this?

Thats why i change brakes.

it is just such a backwards step - to pull disc brakes and replace them with drums....

Agreed.
I have a '73 Commando (little different but ...) with 4 drums. Let me tell you, when you stomp on those brakes that thing takes you for a ride (usually not pleasant)

Drums is good enough !!!
And It LOOKS great with wide 5 on a late fasty...
Ive been running drums on my fastback 69 for YEARS....
and for sure im not running a stock 1600......
And its even get used as a daily driver.....
