Is there a name for the covers used over the pop out hinge holes?
I have a set of repo panels and was planning on using them but am unsure where to get these covers. |

Send Aaron a pm, he might be able to point you in the right direction. I would guess that since there are not many around that you mat have a little fabrication to do.

Thanks, I shot Aaron an e-mail.
I may lean towards a half panel by just installing the rear set as I will still use the rear seat and it would be nice for those who ride there to have windows that open then again I may not really can't decide.

Got these a while back from Mario at T3HQ. Not sure who actually made them
They're ok but the exchange rate and the import taxes got me so they came out around $500 |

Pedro is making these panels as well. They look beautiful, got a set & I cannot wait to see them installed.

If these are them then they've travelled almost all the way around the world.
Considering my square came here from the states at one point then guess if I put them together then it would make it a complete trip. |

You have the 1st set of my 3rd run
and correct louvers show them a small peak

| How the side panels are attached to the body originally? Are they glued in place? |

Thanks for the info Aaron, appreciate it!

The Australian assembled CKD cars had their panels spot welded in with possibly some seam sealer applied to help keep the rain etc out.
I purposely kept the spot welds visible when I restored my car and made it a bit of a feature. |

Does anyone have information about production figures per year? I found the totals for Type 3 but is there a number for panel vans?
Thanks! |

Either this was too easy a question - or too hard a question 
Anyone, any insight? |

Send Aaron an e-mail, as he's probably got the numbers you seek. But honestly, I don't know IF there is an actual total PV production number, as a lot of the PV's were converted to regular Squarebacks in the 60's and early 70's due to importation laws in various countries in Europe.
