It's possible that it was in poor shape before you got it, but this still seems unlikely, because of the case inserts. Were the inserts new when you first used this case? No type 3 OE cases (except replacement cases) came with inserts from the factory, so I suppose it's possible that this case had been inserted and then abused BEFORE you got it. As to cooling, do you have ALL the sheet tin? There are a number of parts that tend to get forgotten and lost even though they are important. It's worth looking at the pictures in the Bentley to make sure. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
