For reference these Brazilian heads are part # 040 101 375.13 ; the
manufacturer is "Auto Linea", I have the address at home.
The casting sounds fine, all the measurements I made are ok for type 3 use.
Price is about 150 euros (1 euro = 1 dollar), bare head is available too
for about 100 euros (all prices incl. 20.6% VAT).
