Years and 356 models with Cast Iron drum brakes ?

#1 Post by Jean-François Pénillard »

Hello !
Until which year are mounted Cast Iron drum brakes on the 356 ?
The diameter is 230mm vs 280 for the alloy drum .
Are they VW products with an alloy cooling crown ?
Thanks for your help ! :

Sometime in 1952 the aluminum drums were introduced.
Yes, they are VW drums with aluminum fins added.
