the original ones anymore. I had to weld on a 6mm extension to what was<br>
left in order to make it look correct & original. It is getting harder and<br>
harder to find correct original parts, particularly for Notches. Even Joel<br>
Mitchel is running out of some parts and he has the most Type 3 parts that<br>
I know of.<br>
<br>
When I was replacing the heater tubes, the only ones I could find from ISP<br>
were the later year ones. Only Type 3 people know the difference but at<br>
least I was able to have a complete car after I welded them in. It<br>
complicated running electrical from the front to the rear but was able to<br>
run all new wireing from ISP and did not do what the B-J one did as he ran<br>
it down next to the tunnel.<br>
<br>
Do you know anyone who recromes the door handles? Looks like they have to<br>
be completely taken apart to get cleaned up and recromed and no one here in<br>
WA state will touch them.<br>
