Does anyone know where i can get a deck lid for a 72 fastback?

Are they the same for all three types? fasty, squares and notchies

i have brought one in sydney and the previous owner has lost the cover. its the cover that sits above the engine in the rear boot.

Bit confusing, but assume you wanting the engine cover ie. " its the cover that sits above the engine in the rear boot".
The engine covers will fit between all years and models, but they are different. Some have centre clips to hold the cover up when open, while the squareback has a strap, not important unless you are wanting to be 100% original. You will have to find good second hand from a wrecker.

if you mean the engine cover then call Vintage 9789-1777 they wrecked a Fastback the other week

Not so. Some year models have different sized 'tabs' that slide into the body. No biggy, you can just grind them back to fit, as everything else is the same barring the things mentioned above.

Would be interested to know which years have the big or small tabs, will take a closer look at the ones I have, Thanks.
