[T3] finger hold on gas filler

[charles tupper]

I am in the process of replacing both front fends on my 69 T3.  The replacement 
fender I have is from a blue 68 (mit finger notch).  So my '69 will be off 
kilter.  Also putting 67 rear fenders in place (different reflector housings)

All '68 Type 3s came with the finger notch. The '69s came with an 
inside release and no finger notch. However, if that RF fender ever 
got replaced on a '68, the finger notch would have gotten lost, 
because VW didn't stock proper '68 RF fenders for long.

If you can find an actual '68 that has no finger notch AND has the 
inside filler flap release, THEN we've got a real dilemma.
