Thanks Jim but my panel van squareback has drums all round (kind of an Australian T3 oddity), so its like a 64-66 Type 3 braking system, i.e it has two front brake cylinders on each side and a single rear with wide 5 bolt pattern. Any other comments?

I believe the 67 panelvan type 3 would have the same brakes as any other 67 type 3: 42 mm front disk calipers, 7/8" rear wheel cylinders, and a 3/4" MC. I don't know how this compares to a bus, except that those buses didn't have disk brakes anywhere. The type 2 and type 3 MCs are also completely different. This leaves the rear wheel cylinders as the only part that they might share in common, but I think that's unlikely. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
