Hi Scott, Well I just called Bill & Steves and will check with ISP tomorrow. Although I prefer the swaps held in Pomona throughout the year for finding little miscellaneous parts, I may attend the Classic just to see what their vendors may have to offer. We attended the classic last year and if my memory serves me correctly I did not see an overwhelming number of vendors. We also have a very well stocked VW salvage yard in our city, which has been a good source as well. I met a guy recently who also had a 67 and he said that there is a really good swap held in Northern California. I cannot remember the name and where in Northern California the swap is -- do you by any chance know. Thanks for your help. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Taylor" <scottbtaylor@earthlink.net> To: <type3@vwtype3.org> Sent: Sunday, May 16, 2004 11:58 AM Subject: Re: [T3] Window Crank Clips > On Saturday, May 15, 2004, at 01:44 PM, Ant.&Rhonda wrote: > > > I have a 1967 Squareback and I just purchased a pair of original 67 > > window > > cranks.
