Did VW ever make self adjusting rear breaks for a type 1 ? Thanks Mark


I don't think so...

Yes, for 73 & 74 Swedish models.

I also had them on my 73 super in Germany, stumped me for a few minutes but so did the stock front disc brakes.

So I wonder if the Mexican and Brazilian Beetles have self adjusting rear brakes then?

Not that I know of, unfortunately. Why not replace with discs? ;)
