Hey thanks for that.
A rough translation of that document is:
Circulation of the customer service department
Betr adjustable foreachae
From the above-mentioned chassis numbers, the front axle mountings can be adjusted into the vehicle types 911 and 912 as standard.
In the case of repairs, the new front wheelhouse can be fitted at any time on one side.
Spare part number 901.501.695.20 (left for left and right-hand drive) 901.501.966.20 (right for left-hand drive and 901.501.967.20 (right for right-hand drive).
The wheel casings of the previous version are no longer available as spare parts.
We will now provide you with the new adjustment data for our vehicles.
The value for the empty weight after din (vehicle unladen but with full tank)....
If this is the intro of adjustable front shocks (along with relocation of washer bottle), it gives a VIN of 302695, which I guess is after the factory Fall shutdown, perhaps September October 1965?

Hey moito
I have found post #476 in http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...=washer+bottle
which provides solid evidence that my 301834 would have had a fender bottle.
The changeover differences between 65/66 model year, what VINs (and via Kardex's) what production dates correlate to when each change was introduced and what VIN actually marked the change are detailed across quite a few different threads on this (brilliant) forum.
Its a shame they can't all be linked together somehow and I'm sure there is a enough information around the forum to come up with a best guess. but here's a list for anyone else interested in this (admittedly narrow) area.
My favorite 'tip' is VIN 302038, discussed in the threads below, as the last '65 model year car still in known existence.

I know a few of these from Porsche documentation:
Last Solex Carb Engine
Last Center Lubricated Camshaft
Carpet:
A 1966 model year brochure says 912s have bouclé (squareweave) carpet (velour in 911)
A 1968 model year brochure says 911Ts & 912s have perlon carpet (velour in 911L & 911S)
Replace 356-style headrests Brett Johnson's book says mid-1968
change from 4.5 to standard 5.5 inch wheels Pretty sure this was 1968. 5.5 x 15 Fuchs are one-year-only 1968.

Hey Jim
Do you have any photos of the 'wedged door frame' you refer to in your list, please?
Thanks
