Default where to get parts

Where are the most reliable places to get parts? I need the springs
that hold the front brake pads on my 73 squareback?

aircooled.net has a good reputation around here. Where are you
located geographically in case someone is near you who can recommend a
local parts supplier?

The most valuable source for information on type 3 parts can be found
on the type 3 email list. Go to www.vwtype3.org/list and sign up. It
is free an totally non-commercial.

I am your best source for type 3 parts. I have the pad spreader
springs. The pads are actually held in place by two pins, however.

You'll want to try Aircooled.net - honest and very knowledgable.

Is there still a VW shop in Bowling Green? Used to be a guy out toward
Beech Bend and I'll eventually think of his name. Ran the service
department for VWOA until they closed. If all you need are springs, he
should be able to hook you up. Also Aircooled.net is great!
