Re[3]: Type-3 Parts

This makes sense as to some of the other minor differences.  Thanks for the 
actual part numbers.  Now I can get the retractor assemblies for a Bug and 
install them in my Square.

>3) It is not even a part meant to go on a VW but it is for an Audi (it has
>VW and Audi logos on it) so nobody can help me!

Okay, sorry, I wasn't paying enough attention.  3) is right; the Audi symbol
is the givaway.  Audi and VW got together after our cars were made.

VW continued to use the 3 prefix after the demise of the Type IIIs as the
prefix of the Dasher/Passat which replaced the Type IIIs in 1974.  The part
you have is probably a Dasher part, but I don't really know.  This is a
common problem.  Not every 3... part is a Type III part.

Here are the retractable seatbelt #s from a Type III.

Front outside: 111 857 705A/6A, left/right, they're different
Front inside:  111 857 755D
Rear outside:  311 857 709E
Rear inside:   111 857 739D

This probably means that the beetle used 3 out of 4 of the same parts.  I
don't know why they are not all alike.
