Know this is a longshot, but I am after some rebuildable Type 3 front calipers with 42mm pistons. All the new ones are 40mm except for Kaefer Service in Germany. Looking to fit them to my '68 Beetle
Cheers.....Wayne

Thanks Steve. Type3 drums on the rear and a standard Beetle master cylinder?
Also, were you able to source new 42mm pistons or just new seals
Cheers

Hi, we have upgraded my sons front brakes to my old Porsche brakes from my Beetle, while the car was in storage the calipers seized.

You can have them for the cost of postage, not sure if they can be rebuilt
