"I have a 71 Camper that I am redoing the brakes on.  On the rear, between the shoes is a "connector" which separates the shoes.  Underneath that is the spring.  In the middle is a "clip" which would appear to clip the spring to the connector.  My old clips will not snap together.  BusDepot cannot find new clips.  Any ideas?"

"VW Part Number 211 609 625



Fits Buses 64-71, VW discontinued it in July 1991.  Guess it's time to hit the boneyard."



Using the part number supplied by Jim T I found that CIP (and others) have them. They list them for buses 64 to 79, but I agree with Jim T that that is not the case.
