You shouldn't have too much trouble finding one. Here are a couple of pics showing the difference between the FI tin and the carb tin (thanks Russ for letting me know the difference). You'll see that the FI tin has a little more metal in place than the carbed version. http://thesamba.com/vw/forum/album_page.php?pic_id=109021 http://thesamba.com/vw/forum/album_page.php?pic_id=109020 Bob 65 Notch S w/ Sunroof 71 Square, now a 2 seat Roadster, pics can be seen at; http://volksrods.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2977 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
