Mk1 gls rear brakes

Hi all, does anyone have a diagram,pic of how the rear brakes go together? Theres's alot more springs than normal didn't take note when i removed brakes 3 yrs ago my bad :/

If you go on vagcat.com there is a breakdown of components there which should show you where everything goes.

This might be easier to see

Thats the badger! Nice one dude

Pictures of mine from my 1978 Scirocco, 1978 is the change over year from manual to automatic adjuster so make sure you have the right brake shoes and springs..

Cheers i got massive box of gn springs so should be fine,whats going round the handbrake a cable? Is it some sort of ring?

With reference this can anyone point me in the direction of a spring kit the one i have would only do one side and thats only if the springs are correct cheers  

Yes its a sort of ring slightly open style ring/clip to stop the handbrake cable flapping about in the drum
Picture a bit rubbish but you can see the ring/clip.


As for finding new springs Im not sure where to find them, I looked on ebay and they only seem to list the later style automatic adjuster style of springs.
These are the style you DONT want even those they list they fit…..
