It is looking like the old hit and miss. They used the parts on hand until they ran out, not always on the required date.

QUOTE(914Sixer @ Mar 31 2015, 04:16 AM)  It is looking like the old hit and miss. They used the parts on hand until they ran out, not always on the required date. Not really. I have had several sets of the early 73 doors. I have also compared early vs late inner panels to see how easily an early door could be changed to the later regulators. The inner door stamping is quite different for the early vs late window regulators, so the early 73 doors were already made different to accept the later regulators. My guess is the laws for the crash bars was implemented after the doors were changed, so Porsche/VW then added the crash bars to the existing plan |
