What is this part called?
66- Beetle / Ghia 5×130 Porsche Pattern Front Drum Brake, Each
What does this part do on a VW?
This front brake drum allows compatible later Beetle and Karmann Ghia models to use wheels with a Porsche-style 5×130 PCD while retaining the original-style front drum brake arrangement.
The 5×130 pattern allows a wide range of compatible Porsche and aftermarket wheels to be fitted without the need for separate wheel adaptors, making this drum particularly useful for custom wheel conversions.
The drum is designed around the later Type 1 front drum brake setup and can be used to replace a worn or damaged original drum while changing the wheel mounting pattern at the same time.
