I am trying to picture in my mind how they were arranged. IIRC, they had the wheel cylinder at the top, like ours. Either that, or at the rear. I know that they were not at the bottom. If that is the case, there is a possiblity that a Super beetle cylinder might work on the rear of a T-3. Russ Wolfe russ_wolfe@MAHLEParr.com Mahle Parr Filter Systems 505 E.
