[T3] Bump stops

[Dave Hall]

My understanding is that apart from early and late production, which were
assembled in Australia from CKD kits (Completely Knocked Down), the
Australian Type 3 components were largely made in Australia, so there may
well have been differences in components to rationalise production further.
5-bolt wheels and drum front brakes for most of the production run are a
couple of the more obvious differences.

Subject: [T3] Bump stops

Came across an oddity with my type 3. I recently replaced the rear shocks
and noticed that the bump stops were very broken. I ordered a set of
replacements for an IRS type 3 but found they were half of the size and the
hole was way too small to fit on the bracket. After searching countless
websites I determine that the part I had bought should be correct for the
car. On looking up the part number of my existing stops it seems they are
off a T2 bus and the brackets therefore must be from the same? I wondered if
any one else had come across this ( mine is Aussie assembled) , whether
there was a good reason for this replacement or if it was just a bodge by
the previous owner?

Cheers
Paul
