[T3] Fender Question

[Dave Hall]

I thought the '68s did have the wrap round indicators even in the USA,
didn't they?  I thought it was the USA safety requirement for visibility
from the side introduced for '69 that made VW fit their '69s with the older
bullet (lower-spec) indicators, as they could be seen from the side (just
about!).  OTOH the parts book mentions flashing indicators with lateral
light diffusion for '68 models (M242), so I'm not sure now.  Jim has a '69
with bullet front indicators (I had to load up the Invasion 2002 photos to
check!).

I know the rest of the world stayed with the normal wrap-rounds until 1970
when the big ones came in, along with the longer front, bigger rear lights
and other safety features.

Does the filler door have a finger hole - only needed when there isn't a
release cable.

It looks original to the fender. Thanks!

 Look on the backside, someone may
 have converted the turn light but most
 likely it came off a eurocar like a Notch, they had the wrap  arounds all
the  way to 70.

 So I just picked up a pair of from fenders from a 69. And  I'm a little
stumped.
 
 My car is a 68 and I was under the impression that the 68  right front was
a  one year only configuration being the first year for the  external
fuel-filler and (I thought) the last year without a cable  release for the
filler door.
 
 This fender has the"68" filler door ... and a different  signal. European
maybe?
 
 I'm not that knowledgeable about the year-to-year changes.
