For Mid America to "buy" a license it cost some $$. The bigger the license, (the more parts that are covered under that license), the more $$. And I'm sure like most vendors/distributors MAM will not find the Type 3 parts profitable enough. The Bug, Bus and Ghia parts are a different story with a much higher profit margin. I hope I'm wrong, but the impression I got from the sales person I spoke to was not to count on seeing ANY Type 3 specific parts,(I even mentioned the e-mail from a "friend", (Russ) from their sales manager, see my original post from yesterday):-( And this was due to the licensing agreements, his words not mine. And any licensing agreement between VWoA and RMMW died with RMMW. And would not likely be renewed by MAM, again his words. Again I hope I'm wrong, but lets see.
