I own a 72 notch, Just removed all windows ready for paint,whats involved in getting back pop out windows , do I have to buy a hole new glass ,or is it a couple of parts ill need, If so where can I get these ?

And if theres any other better looking front blinkers then the originals ?

Not an expert on the Notch popouts, Dallas will know........whats your log on name Dallas? 1500S I think?

Best you can do for front blinkers is get the clear ones. Need a bit of tweeking but are better IMO that the orange ones.

That's it Andrew! Been out of OZ for near 7 weeks in France and UK. Just got back on Saturday.

Notch-72, don't paint ANYTHING until you have all the bits. The popouts are a complete unit so you'll need to do a bit of looking for them. They are also going for quite a few $$$$$$ now. Maybe someone here has some for sale You will also need to find a dead 63 notch or a Squarback up to about 71 to get the B pillar hinges and have them welded in. You will also need the latch blind nuts put in. The best way for them is to use "nutserts" in a plate and pop rivet them in place.

We've had posts here over the last year or so on how it's done. I'll see if I can find them for you. I can make you the latch plates if you like.

Well thats a coincident! I got them about 3 years ago from Anthony (Pimpride) at ISP West. He has just started posting on this site and this thread of course :cool:

Welcome Anthony. While Im at it, you guys ISP, do clear tail lights for late Type 3's?


pimppride - September 11th, 2008 at 02:56 AM

sorry, guys the site wont let me reply to personal messages until I have 5 posts... so I better get posting! the inner frames we should be able to get you a set of good used ones, the outer aluminum trim we make also so that is not a problem, and the latches would be able to provide good used also,

as for the tail lights, no nothing clear... years ago I seen a set someone made from a low use modling... prototype style of molding... I contacted them and got a very high price when I inquired to carry the all clear tail lights, from then, they seem to disappear and I get a few emails a year of people looking for them, but I do not have a source...
