I think you'll find they made RHD all the time they made LHD. Back in '61, '62 there would have been quite a good market for RHD with the Swedes as well as us Brits, plus Australia, South Africa and probably all manner of places that Simon could tell us about. This means that all the L/H mirrors you have also exist in a R/H style as well. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lee Hedges <LeeHedges@LeeHedges.com> To: <type3@vwtype3.org> Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2001 9:15 PM Subject: [T3] Earliest RHD Type 3? > Hi everyone! > > Does anyone know the first chassis number for right-hand-drive Type 3s? > I looked in my T3 Parts List book and it did not state when they started. > Were RHD Type 3s available from the very beginnings? > > I have found a right-side "cat's eye" side mirror on eBay. > I did not know that these even existed! > Anyone have any info that might help me to learn more about it? > > When it arrived from Sweden, it had a T3 mirror thread (longer style vs shorter T34 > thread). > I had to convert it to be able to mount on the thinner T34 vent window frame. > If you're interested in seeing it (on a T34) here's some photos of the left & right > mirors: > http://www.ixpres.com/hedges/t34/cabrio/dualcatseye2.jpg > http://www.ixpres.com/hedges/t34/cabrio/dualcatseye1.jpg > > Thanks! > > > LEE HEDGES > San Diego, CA > 1962 T34 Cabriolet conversion > > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > Search old messages on the Web!
