Zoiks!! I didn't notice that they weren't the same bodies!! Good eye unca Joel - (and who says eyesight gets worse as you get older??.... :<) This could throw a Hazet wrench into the works...... I had no idea VWSA was made it's own Vanagon body stamping dies - I thought they were just using leftover ones from the Hannover factory..... Can anyone tell from looking at that red "Vanagon" (Microbus) pic,(http://www.mg.co.za/mg/oldvolks/newmicro.jpg) if the grille looks like a different size (outer diameter) than German? Or that the grille body opening is larger than German?? Every time I bring up the image, there is a lot of schrapnel, and I can't really get a good look. Anybody?? Need to investigate this further... chris
