>I forgot to mention it here, but there was a VW show in Auburn, CA today 
>that I went to. It's only about 25 miles from home. I've been getting 
>together with a new local VW group in the past month, State Route 49 VDubs 
>http://stateroutevdubs.forumfemina.com, the site for the show is 
>http://www.trpindoorswapmeet.com/. They will probably have pictures up on 
>the show. I'll keep checking.
>
> It was well attended with loads of bugs and busses and a few T3's.
>
> Mine was the only squareback, there were 2 Fastys and about a half dozen 
> notches. The highlight of the T3s for me was a '65 RH drive from 
> Australia. No T34s at all.
>
> I learned how the pop-out window is put together and how the two seals fit 
> in from someone checking out my car. Nice.
>
> I scored at the swap meet. Someone brought a stash of T3 stuff. He wasn't 
> really familiar with T3s, but did his homework and labeled what he could 
> identify. I helped him with a few pieces to confirm their usage. The 
> highlights of what I bought include:
> - Speedometer with trip odo for $10 which I desperately needed as my 
> needle is a wooden match stick and limits out at 55 mph. I don't care 
> about the trip odo, but hey it's good to have it.
> - A bunch of 90 degree spark plug ends, I picked up two sets worth for a 
> buck apiece.* All I need is some wire, as I got some good plug ends also.
> - Because it was only $5, I got a really dash instrument cluster. Mine is 
> still quite oxidized. Neesd dismantling and gluing of a piece.
> - A pair of dual port carb spacers with paper gaskets*
> - Some nice soft rubber spark plug-to-cooling tin seals, two sets for a 
> buck a set*
> - 12 position fuse block with good legs, cover and fuses for $3
> - T3 Thermostat linkage - I bought both he had, so if anyone needs one I 
> got an extra one
> - Exhaust gasket set for a stock muffler (now all I need is the muffler!)
> - Bosch breaker plate complete for T3 68-74, and since I have one in mine, 
> it'll work well for me* 1 237 110 064 000

> * He has more of these available, Jay 775-762-3884 cell. He is in Reno and 
> has sold a bunch of his T3 stuff on The Samba. I don't know his handle 
> there.
>
> He has several tie rod ends - 311 415 812BC
> I don't know the application of these, but there are the numbers.
> He also had Nakata brand one 102.415.811.1, but not sure if T3.
>
> The one item he couldn't identify turned out to be the seal on a 
> Squareback that goes above the oil filler and latch across the rear for 
> the rear hatch. It fits into a groove and has a round shape. I got all 
> three for $2, so if anyone needs one, I have a couple extra.
