I've actually never seen a car with a prop rod, so I'm feeling a little left out here, but my 68 square had a funny kind of round pocket formed into the rail on one side of the trunk lid. I never knew what it was for but now I wonder if that was left over from the days of prop rods. Does this sound like what the prop rods anchored into? If so, it seems strange that VW would keep making them this way for years after the prop rods themselves were discontinued. Of course maybe they still needed to make old style replacement hoods for the older cars so perhaps they just thought they would keep making them all the same way. If this is what was going on, does anyone know when the prop rod socket was discontinued in production, or was my 68 an oddball? Did the older cars have something in that pocket other than just a painted metal socket? - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
