This is where it gets interesting. VW deleted the brake shoe retaining pins, springs and seats at some point. There was conflicting information on this subject. One member posted they where deleted in E74 and one posted 76.
Does anyone know when the retaining springs where deleted? Any corrections needed?

Is there any visual difference between the third and fifth picture? I don't recognize any difference and I think they both look like my '71 without pulling it apart for a better look.
But both of those pics are missing the clip locating the long spring to the spreader bar.
With the good info this will help a lot of folks in the future. _________________ 71 Superbug

Hi
Third picture 71 only shoes.
Fifth picture is in reference to the 77 retaining springs and pins. |

Yes, I realize that the 5th pic is pointing out the retaining springs but is there any difference between all the parts we see in the two pictures? 3rd and 5th?
I.E. is there a visual difference between a '71 and a '77? Or after some inbetween year changes did '77's go back to the very same configuration they abandoned after '71?
EDIT in error I had typed 4th _________________ 71 Superbug

Take another look. I numbered the pictures.
Not visually. Spring kits are the same. But the brake shoes are different. I do not know if the spreader bar and lever are different or not?
#6 Is showing the deleted brake shoe retaining springs.
Do you happen to know when they deleted the retaining springs? |

The '71 (and earlier) spreader bar is WAY different from the one used on 73-79 busses. The parking brake lever may also be different.
Note in photos #5 and #6 above that the shoes are different. The shoes in #5 are the incorrect shoes some vendors have been selling recently, and
which has been discussed recently on this forum. Photo #5 should really be withdrawn or changed, since the incorrect shoes shown may
well confuse/mislead some viewers. _________________ '67 bug: seized by the authorities

From the beginning of 68 to mid 68, the rear backing plates and drums are special and RARE! Up to vin 2x8 109 823.
From vin 2x8 109 824, rear drum 211 501 615 G was used to the end of 1970 model yr.
From vin 2x8 109 824, rear backing plate 211 609 439 D and 440 D was used to the end of the 70 model yr.
The old parts book does not even list the early 68 part numbers. It refers you to Workshop Bulletin B - 14/68 to upgrade to the later parts listed above. |

Thanks for all of this information. I am a new VW owner and learning as much as I can. I am renovating a '72 VW Bay Window Bus and attempting to locate emergency brake Levers and Spreader Bars. I am finding that 1972 was a strange year for Buses and am having a really difficult time finding those parts. This thread was incredibly helpful, but does anyone know actual part numbers for the 72 levers and bars? I don't necessarily need original parts. Just some way to get my Emergency brake fixed because whoever owned the bus before me changed the shoes but didn't put all the hardware back. Any help is greatly appreciated. |

First determine what year your brake shoes are?
