Anyone out here with an original front guard for a type3 square/fast/notch with the acorn shape ariel hole they could measure for me and fax.
So I can drill it b4 the car is painted.
Any help is always appreicated.
Cheers OL

I think Type 3s had a the ariel fitting on the top of the front passengers guard
not like the Beetle in the window pillar so you would only need a round hole on the top of the guard curve
I am pretty sure thats where all my ariels have been Ive had a few Type 3s over the years

Yeah your right Dave, I need the location of that hole.

Mine's got an ariel but I reckon the hole would have been dug after-market. It's to one side of top centre and I can take a pic if that helps...but do you reckon there were guards produced with holes for ariels? I mean...is there a correct place for the hole to be?

I've got it sorted, thanks for the help.
Yeah I think the early typ3's must of had them as I took a template off an early63 notch with a factory blank.
