Re: [T3] 1969 heater IS special! was What's this?....

I'll say it again, but only because people sometimes don't hear the first
time!

The Type 3 Parts Book shows a Type 4 heater fitted in 1969 Type 3s only,
with the rear exhaust pipe and the hot air outlets feeding into a modified
box on the rear bulkhead, with the temperature control in the specially
modified plastic boxes under the back seat (something to look for and
photograph for the sceptics!).
In fact, it was only fitted from January to July 1969, chassis number 319
108 900 for the rest of the '69 model year.

Maybe as they knew they were redesigning the front trunk anyway, they were
going to need a different installation, so used the existing Type 4 for the
interim.  That's guess-work; but the rest is FACT (well, it says so in the
VW factory parts book!).
