I will try and repair the break and then >look for the proper bolts. Yes, Keith is correct on this. My mistake, but then it's been a few years since I've had any of those bolts out. The hinges just have straight thru holes, so it shouldn't be too hard to fix. >Were the T 3 bolts/hinges quite different from other VWs. >I guess the bug hinges were differnt. Late style T-3 hinge bolts were shared with bugs, but that's about it. The hinges are T-3 specific, meaning if you're looking for 3 bolt hinges, you'll need to search for an early car (pre 66). The DDB ( www.theddb.com ) might be able to help you on this. Latches and striker plates stayed the same thru 71, so those shouldn't be too hard to find. Try the DDB or the Samba for these. I hope this helps.
