Will the rotors or > calipers be the same as the ones that came with the '66? Type 1 and type 3 parts are not the same, so you need to figure out which yours came from. SOME of the calipers LOOK the same, but the type 1 calipers have 40mm pistons while the type 3s are 42. This is actually a significant difference. > If not, are caliper rebuild kits (for the '66) available? From who? Price? Yes, any number of places. Start with your FLAPS. Or I rebuild them for a fee. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
