'72 Notchback in Devon which I imported from Oz last year. Just going through a very light body off resto with new CB Performance 1956cc engine, CSP braking system, CSP Python exhaust & new interior being fitted...

Ah yes that makes sense - cool, thanks!

Has anyone got them fitted or has photos of them fitted? I've got a pair to fit and they don't sit right on the rear quarter panel - am assuming there was extra bolster material on rear quarter panels from the factory with the rear armrest option....

Thanks Danny.

Has anyone ever created a list of 4 x 130 fitment wheels for Late Type 3's?

Hi Danny,
I could be up for this - 1972 Notchback

Any way to link photos from OneDrive?

Thanks all. I've sent off the required docs for DVLA - lets see what I get back

Morning all,
I remember seeing a post on registering an import (Oz Type 3 import) and one of our members had experience on dating cars for DVLA - have done a search on the forum but couldn't find the post I was after - can anyone assist please?
Many thanks

Cool, will get a photo album set up and share progress

Ordered one too

And it’s arrived! Will post some photos when I get some decent ones and figure out how to link to them…

Tasty looking Fasty!

And now arriving 1st Sept…

Hi there, I have some late spindles with the 76mm calliper size, also a set of callipers and discs. am in Honiton Devon.

Been fun tracking the voyage from Brisbane on MarineTraffic.com - will be stopping in Valetta, Malta this evening and then to Valencia, Spain over the weekend; Car arrives next week into Southampton Port - 18th August.

Looks like someone was messing about with an airgun

Got you, thanks

Anyone fitted them?

I've got a 2nd hand beam with the bump stops intact so will able to get a set fabricated if needed - thanks for the above link though - very helpful!

That's awesome work - thanks for the photos, will be able to work from that for sure.

Anyone cut off their front beam bumps stops to take the car lower but kept the bump stop brackets metalwork??? I'm looking for a set to try to fabricate as both front beams we have as reference have both had their bump stop brackets removed

Looking forwards to seeing the car!

Same here

If you can wait 6 weeks or so then I’ll have a complete 1972 type3 front beam for sale?

Awaiting arrival of a ‘72 Notch from Australia, landing early August. Used to have a ‘73 Turkis blue Fastback - DDE955L which I sold in late ‘95/early ‘96; hope it’s still around. Also have a Late Bay 1979 and a Last Edition Beetle; based near Honiton, East Devon.
