I made it to the MoFoCo bugfest on saturday, in the hope that I might find a few small treasure troves of useful Type 3 parts. In general, the Type 3 pickin's were slim, but I still managed to find a few potentially useful parts. I'll list a few of them in case there's anything here that someone needs. I picked up a big handful of the OG style of wiper blade refills, which seem to be in good condition. If you want to restore your old wipers, measure the exact length you need and I can probably send you something that will work, although you may have to shorten them with a razor blade. Some front and rear wheel bearing seals, and IRS tranny side cover seals. Also some front wheel bearings. A type 3 gas sender, plus a few relays & switches, including a '71 Type 3 column with TS switch, ign sw., and lock cyl w/key. I can pass the TS switch on to our listee who needed one if he still needs it. 1 side marker light assy (no gasket) w/red & clear lens. Some small rear reflectors & mounts. Anyone looking for one of these? Several NOS 68-9 FI pressure sensors, and a NOS CSV (just the valve part) from the same era. One NOS early (68-?) AT brake pedal pad. Not for sale. One reverse gear for the tranny. For those of you into type 4 power, I got some type 4 pushrod seals (all 3 sizes!), and 3 of the little plastic vibration dampers that go on the type 4 studs inside the engine case. My silly purchase of the day was a NOS grey face gas gauge assy. still in its original box. They never break, but this was just too pretty to pass up. Sorry, not for sale. I also got a handful of AT parts, but I'll send a separate message on those. There WAS one rather spectacular item I saw that I didn't buy, but perhaps I should have: A NOS, in the box, ZVW (VWoA dealer accessory) Type 3 back seat rubber floor mat in RED! It's too bad that the back seat was the only one he had. I'd never seen rubber floor mats in any color other than black. Anyone know anything about these? There was one Type 3 Ghia there. It had WI plates, but I never saw the owner. I couldn't tell the year, but it was swing axle w/front disk brakes, so that would make it a 66-8, unless the disks were a conversion. Paint was white over red. It looked like it was well loved but had led a hard previous life. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
