[T3] T3 Master Cylinder, Axle Beam, Rocker Panels

[Dave Hall]

The torsion arm inner bushings changed from '65 models - no other changes to
the bushes.

The bare beam itself changed in late '62, according to the parts book, and
the inner bushings in '65 models.  The bits that fit on it changed at
various years. It's quite a long job changing over everything, but if your
beam is badly rusted, it's the only thing you can do really.

Actually, I think the inner bushings changed mid 68, didn't they? Along with
the spindles and inner wheel bearings?

All the axle beams are the same from 66 on up, just change out the spindles
to your old ones.  The Squareback has a larger stabilizer in it though, and
if you use the Notch or Fasty stabilizer in a square it will handle like
crap.

TABCO made weld on replacement rocker covers, good quality, but
unfortunately they liquidated them about 5 years ago and now the aftermarket
suppliers that have them want $150ea for them instead of $40.  I think
Mid-america stocked them.  Make sure you get the TABCO replacement rockers
and not the JC whitney "covers" that were on the market.

Mt VW "Bus" friend said he found a "good" Axle Beam.  "GOOD", however, is a
matter of opinion & perception.

Are the any identifying numbers on axle beams that would POSITIVELY tell me
if it's the correct beam for my '69?

Are there any NEW Rocker Panels available for my '69?
If anyone knows of a source, I'd appreciate knowing WHO & WHERE they are
located.
