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
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.
I live in central Ky. A place called Bowling Green
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!
