I am so hoping that someone can help me. I own a 76 VW Trike. The engine is out of a 76 VW Beetle and I thought that the rearend was too.
Here is my problem, I have no rear brakes at all. My rear brake shoes are down to the metal. I ordered what I thought was the right shoes (ones for a '76 beetle) and they are too wide. The length is correct, but the width isn't. I need a shoe that measures 9.06 X 1 3/16 the only brake shoes I can find measure 9.06" X 1.57. I am thinking that maybe they used a different VW rearend just have no idea what kind. Would anyone know what kind of a rearend would take those kind of brake shoes? Or where I could find them? I am desprate! Thanks so much!
