I was searching all over for brake diagrams. Thanks Glenn!

Glad to help. If you need more... let me know.

I found this:

1. Wheel cylinder
2. brake shoe
3. upper return spring
4. adjuster screws, or "stars" as some people call them
5. shoe retaining springs, clips and cups
6. connecting link.

This picture, however is of a rear brake drum. Everything is basically the same on the front, with the exception of the cable and lever for the parking brake.

Front type 1 brakes.

Rear type 1 brakes.

The mid america catalog also has them in there...

If you're on the mailing list you should have a recent catalog in about 20 minutes.

Do you have a diagram of the emergency brake handle?

I see something missing in this Pic.

Also, the outer axle spacer's in backwards, and the preferred orientation of the retaining clip on the upper return spring is the other way - backed up against the backing plate, so it's physically impossible for it to pop off. In addition, the paper gasket is neither required or desired on IRS, or on swingaxle that have a large O-ring around the bearing. -Marc

How to identify correct brake components

Marc wrote:FRONT:
`58-`64 are identical.
`65 is still kingpin but has wider slots in the wheel cylinders and adjuster screws, and the adjuster ends of the shoes are angled.
`66/`67 are the same as `65 except for the backing plates (balljoint).
`68-up are still the same brakes but have adjuster access holes in the balljoint backing plates.

You can use the `65-up front wheel cylinders, shoes, and adjusters on any `58-up. Be sure that you have the wide/angled-slot adjuster screws to match the angled-end shoes.

REAR:
Pretty much the same as front, except that the major change in backing plates happened in `68 when the shoes got wider and the wheels cylinder bores smaller (from 19.05 down to 17.46mm).

M/C:
`58-`64 are all 19.05mm single-circuit
`65/`66 are 17.46mm single-circuit (often service-replaced by the 19.05)
`67 was 19.05mm dual-circuit with small feeder lines and is obsolete. It and all other variants of the early dual-circuit Type I M/C are now serviced with 113 611 015BD (also 19.05mm).

Karmann-Ghias and Euro-spec Beetles had a few differences, the above applies to US-market Beetles.

very nice stuff, what manual did all that come from? alos, is there an easy way to remeber what way to install the e-brake cross bar? It goes in 4 different ways, fits well in two positions, but I am sure only one is right.
