Thing Brakes

I'm finding conflicting info as to which shoes fit the front and rear of the
Thing. One seouce lists the rear axle as using the same shoes as the '60 to
'63 Bus. Another says that the Thing uses the same shoes the '65 to '74
Beetle and Ghia. One auto parts store lists the Bendix as same front and
rear, while Beck-Arnley shows different.

Who can clear this up? Some places don't list the Thing at all, so it would
be helpful to ask for the Beetle or Bus ones of whichever year they are the
same as.

Thanks,
Ed

The Peacemaking Meeting scheduled for today has been
cancelled due to a conflict.

Looks to me like they are different front to rear according to:

At least they have different part numbers. They're also available at:

Why not just order them from a good VW parts source and end the confusion?
