1964-1967 Beetle Ghia Brake Backing Plate Right Rear 113609440D - OEM Number(s) (113-609-440-D)
Restore safe, even rear braking on your 1964-1967 Volkswagen Beetle or Karmann Ghia with this OE-style right rear brake backing plate, the rigid mounting surface that anchors the brake shoes, wheel cylinder, and adjusters in their correct position.
This Volkswagen brake backing plate provides the rigid mounting surface that the entire right rear drum brake assembly depends on. Over time, original plates rust, crack, or distort, which throws off brake shoe alignment and adjuster function — leading to uneven braking and poor pedal confidence.
Installing a correct OE-style plate restores proper geometry so the rear drum components assemble correctly and work as intended. Correct for the August 1964 to July 1967 production window on both the Standard Beetle and Karmann Ghia. Sold individually — one required for the right rear, with the left side sold separately.

Material and Finish: OE-style Volkswagen Beetle and Karmann Ghia right rear drum brake backing plate.
Because Details Matter: The backing plate is the foundation of the entire rear drum brake assembly — every other component bolts to it, and when it rusts or distorts, the brakes lose the geometry they depend on. The result is uneven shoe wear, inconsistent adjustment, and a pedal that no longer feels confident. This OE-style right rear plate restores the correct mounting surface and gives the rear drum on your 1964-1967 Beetle or Ghia the solid foundation it needs.
