Italian Rear Wheel Cylinder for Classic VWs from 1968-1979

Very good quality wheel cylinders for Beetle, Super Beetle, Karmann Ghia, and Thing
11/16" (17.6mm) bore
Installs using an 8mm bolt
Bleeder comes pre-installed
Sold individually and one required per drum

If your 1968-1979 classic VW has drum brakes and you are upgrading or re-doing the braking system, these Italian wheel cylinders are a good product at an affordable price point. These wheel cylinders have a 11/16" (17.6mm) bore and are held to the rear drum backing plate using an 8mm bolt. The wheel cylinder is uses the hydraulic pressure of the brake fluid to push the brake shoes against the inside of the drum to create drag and slow down the vehicle. These Italian rear wheel cylinders are essential safety equipment and we strongly recommend replacing them if you see notice any leaks, particularly if you have a 1966 and earlier vehicle with a single circuit brake system. This wheel cylinder comes with the bleeder pre-installed, but we always recommend using quickly bleeders because they make life much easier.

1968 to 1977 Standard Beetle
1971 to 1979 Super Beetle
