Actually, the Type 3 calipers were only ever Type 3 calipers. While the early Type 4 are the same dimensions, they are not actually the same part number - maybe the difference is simply in the compensating pin. I had a feeling it was mentioned in connection with disc runout in the factory manual, but can't check at the moment. Looking at the drawings, the Type 4 parts book shows a caliper with centre pin, while the Type 3 book doesn't. Err! I guess the thinner discs of the earlier ones were more susceptible to the problem - the later ones are thicker (same as early Type 4 discs), and I don't think Type 4 ones have the centre pin (maybe I'm wrong - Jens?).
