I thought only the late T3 had 42mm calipers with the 3" bolt spacing, while
the earlier ones had the same as the T1 with 40mm and a 2.25" bolt spacing.
Am I incorrect?

BTW, 3" bolt spacing is VERY common... also the same as cars like the
1978-83 BMW 320i with 48mm calipers that just about bolt right on... :-)

Take care,
