What group was that? > No, it was $15 for the transfer, $5 for plates for 1/2 year, and $.50 for sales tax on the sale price. Comes to $20.50. Yes, I can still buy a 6V battery with no problems, but I am seriously considering a switch to 12V. I have everything except the wiper motor, (which I sold to someone else for their conversion). I didn't want to invest in a 6V battery just to get it running. BTW, has anyone put a '68-'69 steering column in a '67 and back T-3??? My ignition switch is bad in the '66, and I thought I would use the steering column out of my parts car in it because you can still get ignition switches for the '68 and up cars. -- Russ Wolfe '71 Fastback AT '66 Fastback MT (not running yet) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
