[T3] heater flaps


Did the T3 have  a sliding bit of sheet metal that  closed  the heater
vents down by the driver's and passenger's feet?
Wasn't there a series of small slots and something that closed them  with
a slider?  I mean to reconstruct that part now, and I don't remember what
that even looked like since the rust ate it all.  Has anyone a T3 in
pristine condition with all that functional?  My flaps on the up and down
sliders to the defrost slots do all seem to be there thankfully, but
there are just holes where the front floor heat vents once were.  Did it
have a bit of sliding sheet metal like the T1? 

   By the way I have found that a paint, called POR -15, is effective  in
stopping rust.  I was skeptical of their claims, but I cut out the "Lace
Hole" parts and treated the rest with this stuff then let it sit a year. 
The rust did not come back!
It's expensive, but it worked.
