I probably have all the parts, but I don't know for sure which ones are different from those on a Beetle. I think the stub axles are the same, and all the parts inside the bearing area are, too. The brake backing plate is different, and I'm pretty sure the wheel cylinders are also different. Beyond that, it's just the hub & drum, the shoes, and the longer type 3 shoe retaining pins. Your story makes me wonder if the PO made some kind of spacer that's on your axle that you haven't realized doesn't belong there, or the type 3 drum is rubbing on the type 1 backing plate and that's keeping it from going all the way on. ?????? -- ******************************* 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/
