What is this part called?
66- Beetle / Ghia 4×100 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 4×100 PCD while retaining the original-style front drum brake arrangement.
The 4×100 pattern opens up a wide range of compatible aftermarket wheel options 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.
