> I believe the reflects are what ISP West is selling since they can't find the original ones anymore. I had to weld on a 6mm extension to what was left in order to make it look correct & original. It is getting harder and harder to find correct original parts, particularly for Notches. Even Joel Mitchel is running out of some parts and he has the most Type 3 parts that I know of.<br>

> When I was replacing the heater tubes, the only ones I could find from ISP were the later year ones. Only Type 3 people know the difference but at least I was able to have a complete car after I welded them in. It complicated running electrical from the front to the rear but was able to run all new wireing from ISP and did not do what the B-J one did as he ran it down next to the tunnel.<br>
