The '65 should have them too. There are 2 different styles of dual cylinders on the T-3. And there is a a bulletin on replacing the front master cylinder. I have posted pictures of both styles on my web site, along with the bulletin. http://classicvw.org/gallery/Earlybrakes Note the difference in the arrangement of the line from the one cylinder to the other on the different styles. The later style could cause some problems on bleeding due to the upward route of the line. -- Russ Wolfe '71 FB AT '66 FB MT '64 T34 (not running) '65 T1 (not running) '05 KIA Sorento SUV russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
