There are actually lots of versions of fenders in the microfilm, with and without various sizes of holes. They were made for various models/versions, but I've never understood why that version would have ever been brought into the US. The body shops hated it when the dealers supplied the wrong fenders and they then had to make the holes right. It's probably pretty hard to get them drilled in there in just the right straight line. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
