The microfilm shows 4 different pedals, the earliest one covering everything up to early '65. Those early cars got some kind of connecting rod instead of a roller. So it looks like all type 3s got pedals, but the rollers only came in for most of 65 and later. Some of our listees with early cars can probably fill in the details. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
