[T3] push-rod length...

[Daniel K. Du Vall]

I have seen the forged pedals but not sure what year they were from. My
dad built a Sand rail when I was yunger and used a set. They had the
pointed diamond shaped texture on the face.

Wow, forged pedals! I don't think I've ever noticed them, but I 
really don't have much beetle experience, and I sold my '62 beetle 46 
years ago....

Is there any reason to look for forged pedals as an upgrade? Because 
I'm SO strong that I'm always bending my stamped ones, perhaps?
