Yup. That P word is expensive. I will take a look for the ad, thanks for the
info.

These have the shoes, backing plates and all the guts except for the cylinders
on the rears. Ad on the samba a couple of days ago from some one in Nebraska I
think, that is restoring the cylinders by resleaving them with stainless and
all new rubber, plungers etc and I think they are $450 for a complete set of 6
(4 front 2 rear).

some bargains.
I'm still looking for reasonably priced shoes, wheel cylinders and balance
tubes for mine.

Not cleaning the garage: Just keep running into these weird parts. Found a
set of the B drums and brakes as described with no apparent wear though I
haven't measured them for $200 at the Temple swap meet and picked them up for a
Porsche friend. Also from the same seller have agreed to purchase a set of
complete front A brakes as described for the same price $200. Thought it
sounded like too good a deal to pass up and my porsche guy wanted them. Just
curios as to how indebted he is to me now. Also, thought seriously about
keeping them for myself and going old school stopping power on a bug or bus.
Went
tbrough all of the Porsche ads on the samba and could only find one set of B
drums advertised and they had been renovated by a Porsche restoration shop-$500
for fair ones $750 for excellent ones. And that was drums only.

inserts. Last time - check a set of used A brakes in the same condition was
about 800. New A drums alone run over 1000 bucks.
Are you cleaning your garage or somethin?

Will: or anyone else; do you have a realistic estimate of the value of a set
of rear 356B Porsche brakes complete including backing plates except for wheel
cylinders. Good condition externally with no apparent shoe wear on the drum.
Also, same question for a set of front 356A brakes complete including wheel
cylinders.
Bus content: These would go great on a barndoor.
