Beetle / Ghia 5×112 Rear Drum Brake Long Spline, Each
What does this part do on a VW?
This rear brake drum allows compatible later Beetle and Karmann Ghia models to use wheels with a 5×112 PCD while retaining the original-style rear drum brake arrangement.
The 5×112 pattern opens up a wide range of compatible Volkswagen, Audi, Mercedes and aftermarket wheel options without the need for separate wheel adaptors, making this drum particularly useful for custom wheel conversions.
