Title: Whats a type FA3?
Post by: Martiny on February 07, 2005, 10:40:27 AM
Hi everyone.

I see there are some brake discs on Ebay, but they are listed as a being for a type FA3.

The ad says RX1, but I doubt they are for the RX-01!!!!. The years listed are 1972-1978. I thought they might be for R-100, but they didnt make them till 78, did they?

I have sent the seller a question, to see if they can clarify it a bit, but I thought someone here might be able to help, please?

Martin here\'s a pic of some FA3\'s

(http://hometown.aol.co.uk/jmazdaman/images/mon3.jpg)

The 1000\'s in the pic are FA3PS and the 1300\'s, which shared the same shell, are FA3TS.

The earlier 1000/1300\'s were designated STB and are very similar in appearance,  apart from a narrower shell and square headlamps

AFAIK the R100\'s were available over here from around 1968.

Both the R100\'s,STB and FA3\'s share the same front discs.

Hop this helps
