RE: [T3] Brake cylinders (rear)

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

I've a note that the '64 and '65 Squareback rear brakes use 1302/1303 front
wheel cylinders.  That was a drum-braked model with 1300 engine in the UK -
our 1600 Beetles had disc front brakes.  I'm not sure how that relates to
the US market though.

I have a pair of those wheel cylinders that I just finished rebuilding. Your
best bet would be to rebuild yours in place on the car, but if yours are
shot, then I can sell you a good used pair. 
These are 15/16" bore, slightly larger than the later years which used 7/8"
and the earlier ones which were 1". These are for squarebacks.

I think the fastys always used the 7/8" bore.
