 Posted: Tue Feb 01, 2022 9:21 am Post subject: Drum brake adjuster leaf spring? |
 |
|
My ('82 924 NA 4 lug) rear drum brake backing plates are in terrible shape. I am hoping these VW backing plates that I got will be suitable replacements — they have the same part number and look identical so far. The adjusting stars are completely seized on as well so I will be replacing them.
In the PET I see there is a leaf spring (924 80-85 PET: illustration 603-00 #2; part num 211 609 185) which I found at a VW supplier, but it says it needs welding?
I couldn't find any info in the Haynes manual, workshop manual, or online. The workshop manual (Vol 3; pg 46-8 ) has a rear drum diagram but they don't point out a leaf spring in the diagram.
Anyone got any advice on this leaf spring?

| Yup, needs welding, mine are broken as well on one side. Didn't see it as an issue. I think the whole rear brake assembly is identical to some VW bugs, so assume the backing plate works as well. The drums certainly do. |

Thanks Riggard, did you replace rear drums? Can’t find Porsche spec drums in Canada but there is a great VW supplier here. If you have a drum that fits an 82 924 for VW I would love to know

I just bought a set of drums from Porsche Spares in the UK. Shipping is pricy, but that's due to the weight. (Porsche 924 2.0 NA 4 stud rear drum NEW 477 501 615 A Brembo) |
