[T3] type3-vwtype3.org Digest, Vol 30, Issue 19

[Phil Hof]

The photos are from my '71, Jim.
It was a few years ago when I rebuilt the box, and I have forgotten who sent me replacement rubber parts, either here or the Samba.  They don't look like any standard part, so without such a well-stocked friend, you'd have to rig up something from scratch.
This place and the Samba, much more than ebay, have resulted in my car still being alive today!
