these with a torque<BR>wrench, what should these be torqued
to?</FONT></DIV><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" color=#000000

style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>You
might try KGPR (Karmann Ghia Parts and Restorations), or their siste company
Air Head Parts, as the KG uses similar calipers to a type 3. Bugformance might
have 1, but they might have to break into a kit to get you one. You're also
going to need the locking plate for the caliper bolts. The torque for those
bolts is 29 Ft lbs. It's an M10 bolt (no length given) The locking plate is
just barely shown in Bentley, on page 18 of Brakes and Wheels, in figure 7-16,
and on page 22, figure 7-27, part number 14 in the picture. I hope this helps.
