My personal preference is to just ignore ALL of it, but I am disappointed that the factory chose to give their official "approval" to some of these verisons. I even dislike the majority of the 3-digit type numbers, since they were applied neither logically nor consistently. Well, I guess they kept the type 34_'s consistent and reasonable. But the notches and fastys got mixed up and there are twice as many #s applied to squares than there "should" have been. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Pitch in!
