THE FULL BRAKE REBUILD KIT — 1958-1964 LINK PIN BEETLE / GHIA

The complete brake system rebuild for your early Wide-5 link-pin Beetle or Karmann Ghia, in one bundle. New EMPI front and rear drum kits matched to your 5x205mm bolt pattern, plus a modern dual-circuit master cylinder upgrade for full hydraulic safety. Rounded out with our hand-restored German backing plates, parking brake hardware, and original cross-bar. Save $129 vs. buying separately.

For early Beetle and Ghia owners, sourcing the right brake parts is a months-long puzzle. This bundle solves it in one order — everything matched, everything verified, every component you actually need to do the job right.

This Bundle Includes:

  • EMPI Front Drum Brake Kit (22-4000-0) — Complete kit with drums, wheel cylinders, shoes, brake hoses, hardware, and adjusting components (5x205mm link pin)
  • EMPI Rear Drum Brake Kit (22-5000-0) — Complete kit with drums, wheel cylinders, shoes, hoses, hardware, and axle nuts (5x205mm swing axle)
  • EMPI 20.6mm Dual-Circuit Master Cylinder (16-9554-0)Modern safety upgrade: replaces the original single-circuit unit with dual-circuit hydraulics. If a line fails, you still have brakes on two wheels — a critical safety improvement over factory.
  • (2) R63 Front Brake Backing Plates — Restored original German OEM, semi-gloss powder coated (left + right)
  • (2) R64 Rear Brake Backing Plates — Restored original German OEM, semi-gloss powder coated (left + right)
  • R70 + R71 Internal E-Brake Levers — Restored original German parts (driver + passenger)
  • (2) R72 Parking Brake Cable Brackets — Restored original German parts (left + right)
  • R73 Brake Push Bar (Cross Bar) — Restored original German part
  • Parking brake return spring — Restored original German part

Fitment: 1958-1964 VW Beetle & Karmann Ghia with link-pin front end, swing-axle rear suspension, and 5x205mm Wide-5 bolt pattern.

Note on the Dual-Circuit Master Cylinder Upgrade:

Factory pre-1967 Beetles came with a single-circuit master cylinder — meaning one fluid leak meant losing brakes at all four corners. We include the dual-circuit master cylinder upgrade because we care about your safety on the road. Cars built before 1967 weren't required to have dual-circuit hydraulics, but modern roads have modern hazards. If you need a factory-correct single-circuit master cylinder for a concours-correct restoration, contact us — we can swap it out before shipping.

Important Notes:

  • Brake fluid not included — fresh DOT 4 fluid required for bleed
  • Bleed all four corners after installation
  • Inspect drums for cracks or heat scoring before reusing — kit drums are direct OE replacements if yours are out of spec

Bundle Price: $859 (saves $129 vs. buying components separately)

Great for sensitive skin and people who sweat in the face.
I absolutely love this product My daughter introduced me to it. My skin is very dry however, I sweat so much in my sinus area and my skin is very sensitive. Most products are too heavy when I put them on and they make me sweat more or I feel like I need to get a papertowel etc and wipe it off. None of that with this. It's light, it moisturizes my dry areas and it does not leave a greasy or heavy feeling. It dosent make me sweat at all. Best of all it only takes a little. I use about a dime size and that works great. I only need to use once a day. I recommend this product.

Great for oily, acne prone and sensitive skin.. thank god!!!
I have oily, acne prone, sensitive skin. So boy oh boy is it difficult to find a moisturizer or really any face product in general that works and is affordable. This is light yet deeply hydrating, does not make me greasy, make my skin sting or break me out. In fact my skin feels less textural and more hydrated looking. I wish it was a bigger bottle but I’m surprised as to how little I need to use since it spreads so easily. (Only need a dime sized or a bit smaller) Great for under eye too so no need for eye cream. Will order more!

Great product, just not enough of it
Loved the product, kept my face looking healthy and smooth. It’s very lightweight which I appreciated. Didn’t notice a scent either which is also a plus. The only thing I was a little surprised by was the size. It was the size of one of those Clinique moisturizer samples they give you as a bonus when you buy a bunch of their makeup. I ran out pretty quickly even though I didn’t use excessive amounts and I don’t have a giant face. Other than that, I’d say this is a worthwhile addition to my skincare regimen.

Love This Moisturizer!
I have been using Simple products for as long as I can remember. I love Simple products because they work really well for my dry sensitive skin. I've always used their Replenishing Rich Moisturizer, but I was developing some dry patches on my face that would not go away and I was looking for something more to help with that. When I saw that Simple had come out with the Water Boost Hydrating Gel Cream Face Moisturizer and saw that it was made for dry dehydrated skin I bought it right away. A few minutes after I applied it to my face I could really notice a difference! My skin felt soft and smooth, especially where the dry patches were, and it even looked better too! I've been using it now for about a week and a half and my dry patches have gone away! The only downfall is that it comes in a small tube. I wish they would come out with a bigger size, but other than that I absolutely love this moisturizer and would recommend it to anyone with dry/dehydrated/sensitive skin! I also use this product along with the Simple Water Boost Micellar Face wash, and at night I use the Simple Water Boost Skin Quench Sleeping Cream.

LOVED IT!
LOVED IT! I’ve been using the Simple brand makeup wipes removers and they’re THE BEST I have tried especially since I have extremely sensitive skin. Even though this moisturizer is a bit(but just a tiny bit) greasy, I don’t mind because it’s REALLY moisturizing and it’s perfect for my combination skin. It’s a gel but it’s a bit watery. However, once you put some on your face your skin just drinks it in. You don’t need much of the product because just a small amount of product is needed. My face feels nice afterwards and soft. Bought 2 more for back ups. Also, yes it’s a small tube(which it’s perfect for traveling) but honestly a little bit goes a long way because you don’t need too much product since it’s a watery gel so I think the tube can last quite a bit! I love this brand and will look into trying some of their other products in the near future.
