1955-1970 Bus Front Brake Hardware Kit 211698055 - OEM Number(s) (211-698-055)
Restore safe, correct brake shoe installation on your Volkswagen Bus with this complete front brake hardware kit including all springs, seats, and pins for both sides.
The front brake hardware on a 1964–1970 Volkswagen Bus takes decades of heat, pressure, and corrosion from the braking system. Worn, weakened, or missing springs and hardware compromise brake shoe retention and braking performance — and are one of the most overlooked items during a brake job. Replacing the hardware every time you replace the shoes is the correct approach.
This Mid America Motorworks front brake hardware kit includes all springs, seats, and pins necessary for a complete brake shoe installation on both sides of your Bus. Everything you need for a correct, safe front brake job is in one kit — no hunting for individual pieces, no missing hardware at the end of the job.
