'71 and '72 were years by themselves as to the horn rings. The good thing is, they were the same as T-1, so that increases your chance of findin the right one. Where is your current one cracked? If it is the "ring" itself that is cracked, consider just cutting it away on the other side and filing the exposed part smooth. So you you just have a bar, and not a ring. -- Russ Wolfe '71 FB AT '66 FB MT '65 T1 (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
