[T3] Late Type 3 Calipers

[Dave Hall]

The second (lower) valve is for draining the fluid when changing it.

Even the twin valve calipers need to be fitted the right way round.  They
are still handed, as the piston retaining plates and corresponding piston
cut out must be towards the bottom of the caliper on Type 3s (towards the
top for Type 4s, which are mounted in front of the axle line).

Jim ... and WHY is it "worth it" to have two bleed valve calipers?  Just to

   - make them appear to look like originals?
   - make the calipers, with two bleed valves, easier & less time-consuming
   to bleed the air out of the system?
