I have a pair of drum brakes from a 66 bug. Made in Japan. Are these worth keeping?

Are you converting to front disc brakes? The front drums and backing plates are '66-'67 only. They may be worth a few dollars to someone restoring a Bug. The front drums may also be useful to someone converting a later Bug to the wide 5 wheel pattern.

I already did the change over a few years ago.
These are up for grabs.
