Has anyone search the forums on information about these? Because I think we all talked about them years ago - so when anyone searches for the maker, T3 forums pop up all the time.

Think

Looks like a "bypass" style filter, not a "full-flow" filter, so only a fraction of your oil ever got filtered.

Anyone ever seen these bumper stops sold for Type 3's?

The one pictured above seems to be type 1. I've never seen that type offered for type 3.

Other than being the most expensive accessory, what is so cool about Abarth Exhausts? I have never planned on racing my squareback, how would one benefit from spending over a $1000 for a part that is not even original, when I can buy many NOS and original muffler units for the same price and I would probably only go though one or two over my lifetime. Experts, please chime in.

I've talked to him about it. It appears to be real but it's been repaired -- looks like extensive welding was done -- and those stickers are definitely not the real deal. The removable tubes are some kind of weird workaround, I think, and they would render the heater nonfunctional. Price is a little steep for what it is, in my opinion. I considered it and passed.

As to what's so cool about them -- the Holy Grail factor, of course, but also tuned for less back pressure and supposedly good for several more HP, and the great throaty sound and the cool look of a vintage Italian exhaust. They're also much more robustly built than OEM Type 3 exhausts and will last much longer as long as they're kept out of the salt. The one I once had was solid as a rock and the sound was f-ing awesome.

There's also the ironic humor of running a performance exhaust on a 50 HP car, but not everyone has a taste for that kind of thing. Wink

Hi, does anyone know where to get the black 190 x 35mm, 7 1/2 x 1 2/5inch bumper rubbers. The ones that bolt on to the old chrome bumpers, 2 on the front and 2 on the back?
And, what would cause a front wheel wobble in my type 3 that occurs without noise at speed, usually after hitting a bump in the road? The wobble usually only stops when the steering wheel is turned more than needed or the car is slowed down. Only happens once or twice on an average trip to town. Posts seem to suggest bearings, but no noise
And, what size were the hubcaps for the original wheels on a 1969 Type 3?

All answers much appreciated, if they answer the Q.s!

No, it's an oil filter. Type 3 bypass filters return oil through a hollow stud in the breather housing mount. Follow the other hose and you'll see that it connects to the oil cooler via a fitting at the oil pressure switch.
