Not sure on Notches Steve but this Squareback was a fairly early one. I was told it was a 1962. It is in the yard at Barnawartha, Victoria and is (was!) complete with original engine when I last saw it in early 2003. What was the body number of your notch? Could you post a photo of the dash and steering column of your notch so we can have a look at it now.

A mate of mine down Tassie had a Notch that was a August 62 model which he used as a beach buggy. It was sold for $200 to a couple of 14 year old kids as a shooting vehcle.

Thanks Laura flattery will get you everywhere...

Steve-89, Type 3 s pre 64 have thinner width drums than 64 on cars so they bolt straight on. Later model cars require shorter axles (from a split case gearbox) and axle tubes, if ya need to know how to do it call me.
