I stock the parts, > including pads, for all 3 calipers. I should add: All type 3 calipers use the same sealing boot. Early type 4s use this same boot. Late type 4 calipers use a different boot, a longer piston, and a thicker pad. I have all of these parts if you need them. Beetle boots, seals, retaining plates are all different. Some beetle pads are the same as early type 3 pads.
