I thought the size of the holes was very close to the same, but the extra tab certainly made the metal "thicker" there, and that alone might make the difference. VW discontinued those holes sometime during the '71 model year, although I think my very early '72 (RIP) still had them. I'll have to check my post mortem photos tonight. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
