That will be where your problem lies. > Good advice. An infrared remote thermometer would take some of the guesswork out, too, for taking measurements. I got one and it's a worthwhile investment. If these hoses are the originals, they will most surely be bad by now. If you haven't replaced them when you did this brake work, you'd best give this some consideration. If you undo a bleeder screw, and fluid is very slow to come out from the screw, then that corner of the car is suspect. Part numbers I used for my '73 (I think all IRS Type 3s would use the same thing, someone can correct me if I'm wrong): Front, L/H and R/H: 311-611-701B Rear, L/H 211-611-775C, R/H 211-611-775B Note the r/h rear is slightly longer than the original. This is acceptable, since it doesn't appear to interfere with anything. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
