If you look in the Bentley manual, ch. 3, fig 6-1 the two lower parts shown are those which go with the early small square plates. Likewise, ch. 3, fig 11-1, item 8 is the early part that goes with the early under cylinder air deflector. These 4 items (2 on each side) are each somewhat different from 71-on. I didn't find a figure anywhere that actually showed either the early or late air deflector plate. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
