i've been told that the ekta is the ekta, no matter where you live. ok. now, i am looking to get a part number for the south-african style upper air intake trim plate and lower radiator grille. the on-line ekta shows part nos. 255 853 652 with G, D, and K for the upper trim plate. G is "with mouldings, round lights", D is "without mouldings, round lights", and K is for rectangular headlamps. all three reference another part number: ">>24-J-014529 251 853 601". the images in the ekta show only the 1980-85 style trim plate with single round lights. is this part no. 251 853 601 the south-african style trim plate? as well, the lower radiator grille has only one part no., 251 853 663. clearly, this is the shorter, north american grille. does anyone have a part number for this grille, south-african style? can anyone who has installed the south african parts confirm the part numbers for me? i would really, really appreciate it. i am also posting this to the syncro and syncroSA yahoo groups, so i apologise in advance for the cross-posting. bill '87 syncro westfalia |
