Revitalize your air-cooled Volkswagen’s braking system with this genuine, factory-original rear brake backing plate. Unlike flimsy modern reproductions, this OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part has been salvaged, rigorously inspected for structural integrity, and finished with a high-durability powder coating to ensure it outlasts the car itself.

This plate is specifically for the Front Right (Passenger Side) and features the correct 4-bolt mounting pattern utilized by Volkswagen starting in the 1968 model year.

Refurbishment Process

• Inspection: Each plate is checked for warping, elongated bolt holes, and heavy pitting to ensure a perfect fit and safe operation.

• Surface Prep: The metal is media-blasted to remove decades of road grime, rust, and old paint, returning it to bare metal.

• Powder Coating: Finished in a premium semi-gloss black powder coat, providing a finish that is significantly more resistant to brake fluid, road salt, and heat than standard spray paint.

Key Features

• Original German Core: Heavy-gauge steel construction offers superior rigidity for the brake shoes to press against, preventing "spongy" pedal feel.

• 4-Bolt Hub Pattern: Correct for 1968 and later IRS (Independent Rear Suspension) and Swingaxle Beetles with the 4x130mm lug pattern.

• Square Adjuster Bosses: Features the updated square-style reinforcement for the brake adjusters, ensuring they stay seated during maintenance.

• Ready to Install: Clean threads and mounting surfaces mean this part is ready to bolt on immediately.
