'67 European Beetle

Looking for disc pads for the front of a '67 Euro bug.
This is a deluxe model with factory 4 lug disc brakes.
Customer needs pads for the front.

I used to own the car but cannot remember if it had Ghia style calipers or not.
Anyone know for sure?

Thanks

If the pads are the single pin style (which I have on both my 68 and 70 bugs with OEM discs), then you need the Bendix 23 pads. They were also used on some Alfettas of that era. I can get them in both hard (racing) and soft versions - if you have a choice use the soft versions - the hard ones squeal badly and don't stop you any better.
