I am not absolutely sure, but I think that the early T3 caliper also has 42 mm. pistons. But if you can get Horizon calipers at a good price, and they fit right over, use them.
(CSP has new calipers that fit beetles w. 42 mm pistons. (I think they are back in stock by now) # 698 461 113BX )
But you will have to do a little modification to the rears or you will experience over braking on the front axle.
Make a plate that has the same with as the original reinforcement in the bakingplate, and put that behind a 19,5 mm. cylinder from a 59-64. Then you have about the same relation between the axles as normal. I have also tried with 22 mm from the front, but that is JUUUST too much, and will reqire a brake regulator to adjust it to be perfect. Because the fine line is sort of between the two.
