What about brakesType 2 >1963 - Use your original drums, but they must be machined .750" off at the snout and machining the inner-most lip flush. This allows you to need the following:
- 1968-1979 Type 1 Rear Backing Plates
- 1968-1979 Type 1 Rear Brake Shoes
- 1968-1979 Type 1 FRONT Wheel cylinders
Type 2 1964-1967 -You can install the kit with the above parts if you can find some pre-1963 Drums. οΎ If not, the only other alternative is to use 64-65 Type 3 Rear Brakes with the following:
- 1954-65 Notchback/Squareback Rear Drums
- 1954-54 Notchback.Squareback Rear Backing Plates
- 1303 Front Wheel Cylinders

Transaxle Update
You will need to update your transmission by doing one of the following.
- Stock Bus Transmission? A 60-67 Tunnel Transmission from your Bus can be used by flipping the Ring Gear from one side to the other.
- Stock Type 1 or Type 3 Transmission? A much better choice because the gearing is a lot more friendly to the engine.
- We recommend a 67 or 68 Type 3 Tranny because of the excellent Ring and Pinion gearing. - When proceeding with this option, you must use your original nosecone (60-67) and nosecone shift rod from your original bus transmission
