BRAKE DRUMS for VW

Reliable Stopping Power: Brake Drums for VW & Dune Buggy

While disc brakes are a popular upgrade, high-quality Brake Drums remain the foundation of the braking system for many classic air-cooled Volkswagens and custom Dune Buggies. Over time, drums can become warped, scored, or worn beyond their safe machining limits, leading to vibrations, pulling, or reduced stopping efficiency. At Appletree Auto, we provide a comprehensive selection of replacement brake drums designed to restore factory-fresh performance to your ride.

The Right Fit for Every Bolt Pattern We understand that the air-cooled community values both original restoration and custom building. Our inventory includes:

• Classic Wide 5 (5x205): Perfect for early Beetles, Buses, and vintage-style Dune Buggies looking to maintain that iconic look.

• Standard 4-Lug (4x130): Direct-fit replacements for later model Beetles and Ghias.

• Front & Rear Specifics: Whether you need a front drum for a king pin beam or a splined rear drum for a swing axle or IRS setup, we have the exact hardware for your chassis.

Built for Durability and Heat Dissipation Our brake drums are cast from high-grade materials to ensure they can handle the heat generated during heavy braking. For Dune Buggies and Sand Rails, having a fresh, true drum is essential for maintaining consistent contact with the brake shoes, especially in off-road environments where sand and debris can accelerate wear.
