Why not just order a disc brake kit instead of wasting money on drum?

If you can find an old type 3 sqareback the whole drum backing plate and everthing will bolt right up. And a superbeetle front wheel cyl and shoes are the same.RTV the drum to the backing plate and then slice them loose the next day after it dries with a razor blade and they will be water proof. Also rtv the adjustment wholes.But I'd just go disc.

Where are you from? Any buggy shop would have rotors or disk brake kits. A lot of different online stores including eBay that likely have them.
