in the worst case scenario, New screens are available from Pilkingtons, but obviously Jolly expensive
If your guy is worried about the screen, why not sacrifice the rubber & cut it out with a stanley knife- Simon kelley has new seals
And No, the trim cant be fitted in-situ

Try offering it up to an oil filler pipe!- size of the hole doesn't line up

I have absolutely no idea how we'd edit the partswap page, But, given that Type 4 Driveshafts are the same as late Type 3, & Type 3 Boots are the same as IRS Type 1, I'd say we're fairly safe to suggest that you use type 1 boots!

Fuel pipe
What do other type 3's have after the fuel pipe exits the back end of the floorpan? I've always had just a jolly long lenth of fuel hose running all the way to the engine bay
Do other people have a length of solid pipe over the gearbox? as Beetles do?

Re: Weber carbs on 1970 Fastback ??
Check that the plastic cap on the breather is a tight fit? It's thermoplastic, so heating it in water will allow you to bend the lugs out if it's gone loose ( should be fairly tight)
