Andrew,
Actually I am fully correct -- T3 and T1 are not the same as per the
question presented. I am also aware of the profile differences, which is a
good point to bring up.
Trish & Ted,
Below is Andrew's message on fender beading. It's probably what you are
looking for.
"I am preparing to receive 200 sets of black repro fender beading,made with
pvc plastic with all the correct profiles,bends and cut outs(as per NOS
beading).They will be available in pre and post 1970 models ,for
fastback/squareback and notchback. This top quality beading WILL FIT AND LOOK
JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL IN EVERY WAY. So spread the word and email back to me
with requested sets that you would like. If you have a restored car with botchy
beading ,then reply. At the moment ,the 6 piece set will be available at $200
Australian and is cheap compared to those rare nos sets out there and will fit
with equally impressive results. Everybody will think you have NOS beading,just
by looking at it! reply to: aparoczy@ezinet.com.au"
Toby

As a matter of fact , you are 2/3 incorrect as well!
There are three profiles in type 3 fender beading if you take a close look!
