This is a bit confusing because 72 calipers should not even FIT on a 69, unless you changed the steering knuckles, too. 66-71 use the smaller early caliper, while late 71 thru 73 use the larger late caliper. Perhaps the calipers you used were off a 71. If so, that would be fine. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
