Thanks Gary - I will see what I can locate re. suppliers of exotic leathers - I am sure there will be somewhere in Sydney.

Jonathan, I lost a nut just under the carb between the cooling fins once. I t was difficult to find with my mirror. The other place I dropped one was inside the frame. You have to reach it from the inside. I'll be stopping off in Sydney shortly. Do you know of a good place to buy pieces of leather that I can use for my upholstery in my Squareback? I'm thinking of Cow, Ostrich, kangaroo, but something large enough to do the seats with. Any ideas?

Hello T3ers, Many thanks for all of your help with my carb problem (brass ferule shaken out) - it's all fixed. A routine plug and points change became a tad irritating today when #3 plug dropped out of the plug spanner on the way out. After 15 minutes of unsuccesfully trying to retrieve it with fingers and various implements - it suddenly disappeared without trace. I took the LH carb off to get better access and used an extendable inspection mirror to no avail. Any idea where it could be? I presume it will need to come out (sooner or later?) and how to get to it. Best Regards Jonathan 70 Fastback Melbourne Australia PS. I also noted an unconnected vacuum connection on the LH inlet manifiold - I sealed it up but what should it be connected to? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
