The late calipers won't fit on your 69. I can probably rebuild your caliper and replace the bleed valve. Unfortunately, getting out a broken bleed valve with a broken Easy- Out in it is NOT easy, so this will be somewhat costly. This is only worthwhile if you have the original style calipers. It might be worthwhile to just have both rebuilt at the same time. I have some other options available, too. Email me if you are interested. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
