I haven't reset any of my current T-3's. My '71 is sagged in the rear,
and maybe a little in the front. But I don't worry about it.
My '66 looks pretty good, but I haven't gotten that far in it's
restoration. The '69 parts car has a bad bushing in the right side lower
arm.
I acquired the VW-261 protractor in a trade for a T-3 head.
