4 lug disc to drums?

Does anyone know if either regular bug or even super front drum brakes can be adapted to the type 3 spindles?

reason I'm asking is I am building ( based on 2 different type 3 pans) a pair of mad max style some-what crude multi purpose off road vehicles for use on the beach ( surf fishing/surfing/ wind surfing/ camping.... hunting/ camping/ trail clearing work) and on acreage/ hunting lease.) and I do not want or need the stopping power of the stock discs...

Supposedly the '66-'71 T3 and '68+ beetle use the same disks.Supposedly.

What that means is that the backing plates should be the same; it should just bolt up. Unless I'm way off. Get a T3 disc setup and pull it apart. See ig the drum fits.
The easiest way to see if something fits is to try it on, right?
