Product Details

When it's time to service the brakes on your classic 1955-1963 Volkswagen Transporter, you need parts you can count on. These rear brake shoes from DFC are built to get your Type 2 stopping straight and true, just like they did when they rolled off the line.

DFC starts with new carbon steel, then dips it in high-temperature, anti-rust black paint to keep corrosion at bay. They pay close attention to the bond between the friction material and the steel shoe, using specialized glue lining and treatment to ensure a strong connection that lasts. Plus, each shoe is precision arc ground, meaning they're shaped just right for a perfect fit inside your brake drums, which helps with consistent performance right out of the box.

These shoes use a semi-metallic friction material, bonded or riveted to meet original equipment specs. They've been field and lab tested to make sure they'll perform reliably and last a good long time.
