[T3] tube in the floorpan?

[Keith Park]

Yea, that's it!  so Wolfie has one!  And a REAR defroster too?  Too bad they
didn't keep that, never noticed it on an early car before, neather of my
65's had it.

Got the last fender blocked out today, still need to go over it once more in
400 then it gets sprayed as soon as the humidity breaks, the LAST thing I
need to paint!  Then the fun begins....

I was  recently reading an article in Hot VW's about butchering up a T3 pan
to  take a T1 beam for some unimaginable reason and I 
Noticed that the pan  they were using had a large tube, maybe 2 or 3 inches
in diameter  protruding from the front end of the tunnel  to the inside of
the car,  Ive never seen anything like this before, is this some early  heat
tube??



Do you mean the tub coming off the top right side of the tunnel like in  
this pic Keith?

It's for the front defroster. Just so you know, T-34's also got one in the  
rear too. I believe 64's were the last year for them on T-3s, if not then 
very  early 65's last got it. It's one of those early "1500" things. :^)
