If the rear seal in them is the same as the rear seal in the FAG tandem MCs, then I should be able to modify the piston to accept the ATe seals. I don't know about this because I've never had my hands on one of the early FAG simplex MCs. It's likely that I can do something for one of these, I'm just not in a postion to be able to promise it yet. There's also a problem with MC bore diameter. All the tandem Type 3 MCs are 19mm, and I think most of the simplex ones are, too, but I think SOME of the simplex MCs are larger, like 22mm, so I would have to scramble to find seals for those. I DO have some odd sizes here, so it's possible that I might find what was needed. If someone out there has one of those simplex MCs that they'd like me to take a look at, I'd be glad for the opportunity to at least look at it. Even if I found that I couldn't rebuild it, I could clean it up and return it at no charge. OTOH, I got a batch of parts in last week which I've not yet unpacked. I think there might even be some NOS FAG MC kits in it, either tandem or simplex. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
