sorry to interrupt, but can someone tell me the parts number of barndoor front drums ? Somebody offered me a pair but I don´t know if they fit on my
barndoor spindles, can´t tell the year of my spindles either because they´re on my kubel :)
The number the guy gave me is VW 29 415 29 ! He´s also not sure if they are from a later bus...?
thanks in advance !

Pete if you want later drums you will have to get late spindles and
use the link pins from a barndoor :? or is it use your king pins

Hi pete if you want to use later brakes you can use 55-63 front drums and backing plates on a barndoor if you move 3 of the mounting holes in the backing plate the front half of the spindle is the same on a later barndoor.
I have used them on my 54 you need to weld a piece of steel on the back where the whee lcylinder bolts go to stop the backing plate flexing under braking.
