Could someone with a late model car, or even just a rear wing, give me the dimension from straight edge of wing on B post, to the mounting hole/bolt on the bottom edge?
My wings are in the darkest recess of the garage at the mo & I'm doing the sills at the mo!

Re: Beetle Tailpipes
Is it a genuine or aftermarket silencer?
I used to drive a Beetle & always ensured that both tailpipes were inserted the same depth into the silencer, which may or may not make a difference

Re: 1970 Fastback ln Australia
That looks lovely!
I think we should leave the last pic as it is... upside down!
You'll probably have spacers fitted, to allow the wheels to clear the calipers, hence the abnormally long wheel bolts

Re: Anyone know the whereabouts of KPA 227K Variant?
I was alluding to the fact that it got burnt out in the film, having seen that page too!
Might be worth tracking down Dave mcdonald to see if He knows of it?

Space is always tight with a Type 3 I'm on a 205T, As far as I know it's original to the car. from memory, as you stand behind the car looking into the engine bay, the vac can is 10-12 o clock & you have to move the Oil pressure manifold to suit. Has your engine been messed about with? Are you happy...

Re: 72 Fastback Wiring Diagram
The rev counter won't be original i don't think
But it's just a signal wire from the coil anyway- There is a way to run it off the OP switch- see Moby/speedy jims instructions on vzi

Re: Headlamp mounting bracket
You can't source one as such
Just make an angle bracket & drill/tap it to suit
Ideally welded in place, but I don't see why you couldnt just use self tapping screws to secure it in place.
