What, appart from the >adjusting machanism makes it different from ordanary T3 rear brakes? I wondered if this could have been an option for various countries. Like the self-adjusting drum brakes (option code M86) for Swedish Beetles. But H.-G. Mayer-Stein's 'Die grossen VW. Nordhoffs Vermaechtnis: VW 1500/1600, 411/412' (Karlsruhe: Verlag Karl Goerner, 1994. ISBN 3-9803665-0-2.) does not list such an option for the type 3. Could well have been the same mechanism, of course. How about it Adriaan, did you already find out more about them in the goldmine of manuals you found? Anyone else?
