I need to change the front wheel cylinders on my 67 beetle I was thinking of the Raybestos wheel cylinders, but while reading the description it says they have 3/8-24 threads. This seems odd to me.
Did some of the beetles american threads ? |

Some of the early seat belt anchor bolts were American threaded.
Brake parts, Never! Take your WC attachment bolt with you to the parts store and make sure that they fit. I bet it's a typo in the catalog.
Good Luck.

Well after searching other sites they all say Raybestos 37109 is 3/8-24 raybestos site also list hoses and they are m10, I think it might be a typo so I emailed raybestos to figure this out.
I wanted to buy online to save money so I will wait for there response

| If you are buying online anyway, just order the german ones from wolfsburg west and be done with it. I have had poor results with other brake parts. Brakes are not an area where I would be trying to save a couple bucks. |
