Oettinger T3 datasheets or owners club? need info on brakes!

Post by towcester »

I have a 1986 westie with what I think are Oettinger conversion brakes front and back -

the rears are 5x112 OG hubs with a disc rotor and caliper with internal drum brake for the handbrake… one of them ate the internals and needs replacing - I was hoping to use the Epytec kit to go to T4 rotors but the the bearing carrier is not a standard VW part and has the ABS sensor in the side but a different shape to hold the caliber and backing plate.,

it looks like it might be parts from a BMW or Mercedes from the appropriate 80s era but I’m having a real challenge finding what they are to order replacements -

any clues from anyone on what the original T3 Oettinger brake solution came from? or where I might be able to find out
do you know anyone with an Oettinger or an Oettinger club or online Oettinger data?

Any help very gratefully received

The Oettinger brakes are a mash-up of Mercedes discs with BMW/ATE calipers. I have the syncro set (different front discs I think) but the rears are incomplete, no adaptors.
I'd like to reinstate them but will use my Sharan disc conversion for now.
I had been told that the rear discs were actually redrilled Porsche parts, the parking brake shoes are 180mm dia x 25 or 30mm wide.

PS there is a Oettinger T3 (and Nothelle) facebook group, I am one of the mods. Its a very small community with 99% T3 content.

Anything? Genuinely interested. Appreciate that the weather hasn't been great for lying under a van of late...
