VW makes very few of their parts. They are probably subbed and then branded
by VW.

But this isn't a bad thing, the brake shoes should be manufactured to VW's
standards.

RockAuto.com has rear brake shoes available that are apparently made by
Volkswagen.  Maybe these are overstock they are unloading?

My question is that rockauto has four listings for the 1987 Vanagon
campmobile:  two (primary and secondary) for each of the right and left
wheels.  Did/does Volkswagen really sell their brake shoes by the individual
shoe?   In any case, I need new brake shoes.  Any recommendations?

I'd also like to buy LED dash lights.  I've bought some from VanCafe in the
past and they fit and work fine, but they don't seem to last very long.  And
they are expensive to ship to Canada.  If anyone has an alternative source
for those, I'd love to hear it.

Thanks, Rick
