Re: [T3] What's this....

OK, so I thought I'd get the parts book out, and what do you know, the only
model fitted with the rear mounted Eberspacher heater is the '69.  All the
others have the short downpipe for exhaust, and obviously fit in the front,
while this one has the long tailpipe normally seen in the Type 4 system.
In fact, most of the part numbers are Type 4 numbers; I don't know if the
Bus uses the same heater or not - no way of checking.

There are about 7 different types listed for '65 to '72, with exploded
diagrams.
