Hi,

Has anyone ever lined up a Type 3 Pan half and a Karmann Ghia Pan half?

I know the seat runners are different, but I am interested in the profile shape differences.

Cheers,

David

I am looking at fitting secondhand Type 3 Pan halves into a Ghia as I am not happy with the quality of the repro Ghia Pan Halves!
