Re: Insurance
My Bay single cab is insured with Footman James and I have agreed value with them even though it is parked on the street. Generally, I'm disappointed with the so called specialist insurance companies. A couple of years back, somewhat dismayed by the renewal quote from the above, I rang around the us...

Re: Wipers
Alternatively, what about fitting a 12 volt wiper motor?
I have a 12 volt NOS one but I would need to know your chassis number & handing of vehicle to check the compatibility as there are lots of Type 3 variations when it comes to wiper motors.

Definitely not a Bay part - in addition to what Dave says the Bay tail pipe was right angled and did not have a bracket tab.

Re: Westfalia 321 073 tow hitch 1977 date stamp
This query has been answered on the Late Bay forum.
However, for anybody following it on this forum it fits a '72-'76 Bay.
My January '79 single cab Bay has a 321 125 towbar as pictured below.

Re: RAL Paint code
My understanding of the RAL system is that it is standard definition of about 200 or so shades of colour.
In other words it is not an exhaustive list of every shade known to man or indeed VWs.

Someone with access to a Type 4 parts book could perhaps check out the part number to see if it suits.

Re: Type 3 71 -73 Wiper Blades
The fact that they are a one year only blade as far as the Ghia goes limits their saleability. There are a couple of sets on thesamba for an eyewatering 80 euros and a more reasonable but still expensive $49.
Why not advertise on there undercutting them?
