Product Information
Product Information

OE Match supplies this handbrake hardware kit for Porsche 356, 356A and 356B drum brake assemblies. It provides replacement shoe-fitting hardware for maintenance and restoration work.

Fits

fr
Porsche 356 - 1950 to 1955
Porsche 356A - 1955 to 1959
Porsche 356B - 1959 to 1963

Fits both front and rear drum brakes
1 set per car

Check fitment for your specific vehicle (model, year, engine) before ordering.

What This Product Does

This kit concerns the fittings associated with the brake shoes, rather than their friction linings. The supplied assembly references identify tension springs, roll pins, compression springs and concave washers used around the shoes.

Functions

  • Provides replacement hardware for drum brake shoe servicing.
  • Supports shoe retention and spring action within the brake assembly.
  • Allows deteriorated fittings to be renewed during restoration.

Technical Details

  • 35642168: tension spring; diagram quantity 6.
  • 35642169: roll pin; diagram quantity 8.
  • 35642172: tension spring; diagram quantity 4.
  • PCG64442208: compression spring; diagram quantities 8 or 4 according to assembly. The early brake diagram includes applications marked 356 and 356 A/540.1.
  • 251609289: concave washer; diagram quantities 8 or 4 according to assembly.
  • These quantities describe the referenced assemblies and are not a confirmed packing list for the kit.

Symptoms of Fault

Inspect existing fittings for corrosion, distortion, seizure or looseness. Rattling and brake noise warrant examination of the hardware alongside the shoes and surrounding components; these symptoms alone do not establish which part needs replacement.

Why Replacement Matters

Renewing damaged fittings avoids reinstalling deteriorated hardware during brake work. OE Match develops replacement components around Porsche applications, with attention to original references and vehicle-specific fitment. Check the condition of adjoining parts rather than assuming a hardware kit will resolve every braking fault.

FAQs

How many sets are specified for a vehicle?
The supplied requirement is one set per car.

Is this only for the rear brakes?
No. The stated application covers drum brakes at both ends of the vehicle.

Do the diagram quantities confirm the kit contents?
No. They identify assembly requirements. Confirm the supplied components against the planned repair before dismantling.

About Pin Kit and Guide Plates

Porsche Pin Kits & Guide Plates | Design911 Precision Components for Brake Alignment, Safety & Performance

Pin kits and guide plates are small but essential components within your Porsche’s braking system, ensuring that brake pads and calipers operate smoothly, efficiently, and safely. These parts allow the pads to move correctly within the caliper housing, maintaining consistent contact with the brake disc under all conditions. Over time, these components wear, corrode, or seize — leading to uneven pad wear, brake noise, or reduced stopping power. Replacing them during servicing or caliper rebuilds is critical for maintaining braking precision and performance.

At Design911, we supply premium-quality pin kits and guide plates engineered for accuracy, durability, and perfect fitment. Manufactured from high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials, these components deliver long-term reliability and optimal brake performance. Whether for road use, restoration, or motorsport preparation, our parts ensure your Porsche brakes operate at peak efficiency.

What Do Pin Kits & Guide Plates Do?

Pin kits and guide plates ensure proper alignment and movement of brake pads within the caliper assembly, maintaining even pressure and smooth braking action.

Core Functions:
• Keep brake pads securely positioned within the caliper.
• Allow controlled, friction-free pad movement during braking.
• Reduce vibration and noise from uneven pad contact.
• Maintain precise alignment between pad and disc surfaces.
• Support consistent braking performance and wear distribution.

These components are essential to the structural and mechanical balance of your Porsche’s braking system — preserving the sharp, responsive feel expected from precision-engineered vehicles.

Why Do Pin Kits & Guide Plates Fail or Degrade?

Due to their exposure to heat, debris, and moisture, these parts experience constant mechanical stress and environmental wear.

Common Causes of Failure Include:
• Corrosion from moisture or road salt exposure.
• Wear from friction and repeated pad movement.
• Contamination from brake dust and debris.
• Deformation caused by excessive heat cycles.
• Seizure or binding from lack of lubrication or maintenance.

When pin kits or guide plates fail, symptoms may include brake squeal, uneven pad wear, reduced braking efficiency, or caliper sticking — all indicators that replacement is needed.

Why Replace or Upgrade Your Porsche Pin Kits & Guide Plates?

Replacing worn or corroded hardware ensures smooth pad operation and extends the life of your braking components. Design911’s precision-engineered pin kits and guide plates restore original braking feel and consistency while reducing vibration and noise.

Key Benefits:
• Restores smooth, reliable brake pad movement.
• Prevents uneven wear and brake noise.
• Improves braking efficiency and responsiveness.
• Manufactured from corrosion-resistant, high-tensile materials.
• Direct-fit design for Porsche-specific applications.
• Ideal for maintenance, upgrades, or full caliper rebuilds.

Design911’s Porsche pin kits and guide plates deliver reliability and precision — ensuring your braking system performs exactly as intended on the road or track.

Highlights

• High-quality Porsche brake pin kits and guide plates.
• Precision-engineered for secure pad fitment and alignment.
• Resistant to corrosion, heat, and mechanical stress.
• Reduces brake noise, vibration, and pad wear.
• Suitable for servicing, restoration, or performance upgrades.
• Compatible with a wide range of Porsche models.
