Re: [T3] More early pics

<x-flowed>I just completed rebuilding mine on my '63 and they look exactly like 
that.  I even had a full set of new brake pads and they were all the 
same.  Getting those springs to clip in from the rear was a pain and I 
had to rebuild the wheel cylinders.  I used parts from late model super 
beetle wheel cylinders to get the right stuff and they work like new 
now.  Gotta love those funky early type 3 brakes!
