THE FULL BRAKE REBUILD KIT — 1958-1964 LINK PIN BEETLE / GHIA

The complete brake system rebuild for your early Wide-5 link-pin Beetle or Karmann Ghia, in one bundle. New EMPI front and rear drum kits matched to your 5x205mm bolt pattern, plus a modern dual-circuit master cylinder upgrade for full hydraulic safety. Rounded out with our hand-restored German backing plates, parking brake hardware, and original cross-bar. Save $129 vs. buying separately.

For early Beetle and Ghia owners, sourcing the right brake parts is a months-long puzzle. This bundle solves it in one order — everything matched, everything verified, every component you actually need to do the job right.

This Bundle Includes:

  • EMPI Front Drum Brake Kit (22-4000-0) — Complete kit with drums, wheel cylinders, shoes, brake hoses, hardware, and adjusting components (5x205mm link pin)
  • EMPI Rear Drum Brake Kit (22-5000-0) — Complete kit with drums, wheel cylinders, shoes, hoses, hardware, and axle nuts (5x205mm swing axle)
  • EMPI 20.6mm Dual-Circuit Master Cylinder (16-9554-0)Modern safety upgrade: replaces the original single-circuit unit with dual-circuit hydraulics. If a line fails, you still have brakes on two wheels — a critical safety improvement over factory.
  • (2) R63 Front Brake Backing Plates — Restored original German OEM, semi-gloss powder coated (left + right)
  • (2) R64 Rear Brake Backing Plates — Restored original German OEM, semi-gloss powder coated (left + right)
  • R70 + R71 Internal E-Brake Levers — Restored original German parts (driver + passenger)
  • (2) R72 Parking Brake Cable Brackets — Restored original German parts (left + right)
  • R73 Brake Push Bar (Cross Bar) — Restored original German part
  • Parking brake return spring — Restored original German part

Fitment: 1958-1964 VW Beetle & Karmann Ghia with link-pin front end, swing-axle rear suspension, and 5x205mm Wide-5 bolt pattern.

Note on the Dual-Circuit Master Cylinder Upgrade:

Factory pre-1967 Beetles came with a single-circuit master cylinder — meaning one fluid leak meant losing brakes at all four corners. We include the dual-circuit master cylinder upgrade because we care about your safety on the road. Cars built before 1967 weren't required to have dual-circuit hydraulics, but modern roads have modern hazards. If you need a factory-correct single-circuit master cylinder for a concours-correct restoration, contact us — we can swap it out before shipping.

Important Notes:

  • Brake fluid not included — fresh DOT 4 fluid required for bleed
  • Bleed all four corners after installation
  • Inspect drums for cracks or heat scoring before reusing — kit drums are direct OE replacements if yours are out of spec

Bundle Price: $859 (saves $129 vs. buying components separately)

Good image quality
Set name: Sublimation Printer
Has good print quality and has worked well. I like the tray paper feed for regular size and that I can use the back paper feed set up for my mug sized sublimation paper. I had considered converting an ink jet to a sublimation, but for a little more decided to try this. Glad I did. Set up was pretty easy and I'm happy with the color quality and accuracy. I wasn't sure when I first saw the print out, but once the sublimation was doen, it was great.

Great value
Set name: Sublimation Printer
This is my first sublimation printer and I am very happy with this printer. The photos that I have printed have been very good quality and vibrant colors and have applied really well to the sublimation blanks I have used. I like that it will self clean the heads as long as the printer power is on. It was important to me to get an actual sublimation printer in order to have the warranty on it. The printer works with the Artspira app. This app is only available on a smart phone or tablet. It is very difficult to design on such a small screen. Brother needs to have a program that will work on a computer to make designing easier. I did gave difficulties getting my phone to connect to the printer after I designed my work on the very small screen. I used the chat feature on the Brother site and they were able to help me get it connected in order to print.

NOt good... not great... horrible
Set name: Sublimation Printer
I’m thoroughly disappointed with the Brother Sublimation Printer and would not recommend it. Out of the box, the setup process was more complex than anticipated, with unclear instructions and frequent errors. The print quality was inconsistent, with colors often coming out dull or inaccurate, despite multiple attempts at calibration. I experienced frequent paper jams, which disrupted my workflow and wasted a lot of materials. The printer’s software is buggy and doesn’t integrate well with other design programs, making it frustrating to use. The connectivity options were unreliable, causing frequent disconnections and delays. Additionally, the printer is quite noisy during operation, which can be distracting and bothersome. The build quality feels flimsy and not as durable as I expected. The customer support experience was also poor, with slow response times and unhelpful solutions. I faced issues with ink usage, as the cartridges seemed to run out quickly, leading to higher operational costs. The sublimation prints didn’t have the sharp, vibrant quality I was hoping for, making my final products look less professional. The lack of clear troubleshooting guides added to the frustration. The printer’s design is bulky and takes up more space than I anticipated. Overall, this Brother Sublimation Printer has been a letdown in terms of performance, reliability, and ease of use. I regret investing in this product and would advise looking for alternatives.
