That's good to know. > My VW parts dealer told me yesterday that replacement front shoes for late beetles now always come with the parking brake slot, and are the same ones used for rear type 3's too. Note that I couldn't see the part itself, and in this business unless you can check by yourself , ... Oversized shoes are not available for years. If your got your drums rectified, they just put standard shoes and claim it's ok !! But of course they'd rather sell your new drums.
