Hi Tim, First of all, Squarebacks were imported into the US starting in '62, it was the ONLY T-3 VW imported back then. Fastbacks started in '66. (Just wanted to straighten that out.) As far as the front drum on your '65, Part number 311 405 615 B, Bill and Steve's had them the last time I got a set. Try them at (310) 866 9045. I don't think Bug drum will work. It would be too thin of a braking surface for a '65. Good luck with it, Big Al awpresley@earthlink.net BMWFixer@worldnet.att.net wrote: > > Howdy, > I recently purchased a '65 Squareback in outstanding condition.
