<BR>the body style; I thought they were all alike. I just checked my old
<BR>parts book and I see 2 versions listed: a plain and a "C" version. I
<BR>wonder what happened to A & B.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The A and B were very early, in that they used multiple screws to hold
the well in place. I think my 65 Notch uses 3 screws across the top (probably
the "B" version), while my T-34 used 7 or 8 screws to hold it in place (T-34
only part). I don't know if the very early cars (62-63) got the clip in the
inside bottom of the front apron or not (I'm not really up on the very
early cars), but if it didn't, then VW would have used more screws across the
very bottom of the tire well (and were definitely the "A" version). </DIV>
<DIV>You have to remember, VW was constantly fine tuning the early cars,
trying to eliminate some of the extra parts (reduce costs), and that tire well
could very well be a spot to cut costs on.
