[T3] Early brake finds

["Jason Weigel" <notchboy@comcast.net>]

<x-flowed>While revamping my rear brakes I found a new, unnoticed part change over. 
Previously I had always thought that the 61-63 pinwheel drum was all the 
same through production. Well I found that they were not. From cassy 
#1-76299 VW used a drum with an aditional internal oil catch! Weird to see 
on a T3. I also have a chassy#76300-221974 nos rear drum to compare with. 
The early has a shorter nose and the hole in the outside for a drain. The 
later has a longer nose and no hole. The wheel hub bearing assembly is 
different in the chassy# as well. I thought it was a cool find and to be in 
imaculate shape to boot! I posted pics here on Russes site. Notice the 
Torque Dude tool. This thing works GREAT and worth every penny!

I have a couple more great finds to share so stay tuned!
