EMPI VW Front Drum Brake Kit – 5x205 Early Wide-5, Link Pin (22-4000-0)
Restore your classic Volkswagen's original stopping power with the EMPI Front Drum Brake Kit. Engineered for 1958–1964 link-pin models, this "all-in-one" kit is a complete front-end safety overhaul that eliminates the need to source individual springs, clips, or hoses — ideal for a "nothing to hide" restoration or a refreshed daily driver.
Every component is 100% new — no core charges or refurbished parts — and designed as a direct bolt-on replacement that maintains the original engineering and Wide-5 aesthetics of your chassis. Replacing pitted drums and aging wheel cylinders restores firm, predictable pedal feel.
