    Features on early MY 1966 cars that changed during fall 1965

    I think several threads here have been addressing this partially, but feel we could gain more insight by consolidating the knowledge here in 1 thread. We did so for early 1965 changes and that turned out to be successful for many. I am not going to coordinate all the knowledge in a spreadsheet and happily leave that to one of the people owning such cars, but I will be following and adding to this thread for sure.

    Now, off the cuff:
    - change to adjustable struts
    - change washer bag from fender to front
    - change ID from front of smugglers box to font slam panel (simultaneous to changing the front slam panel right hand side)
    - abandon wedged door frame
    - abandon 4 screw horn grills
    - change heating pipe rear arch from running below the axle mount to above (recently found by Moito)
    - abandon bracket on the edge of the rear wheel arch to the floor (recently found by Moito, probably used for manufacturing purposes till then)
    - change steering wheel from alu to steel
    - change Solex carbs to Weber 40
    - abandon cam shaft centre lubes
    - abandon double Pierburg (was the electrical Bendix pump changed at the same moment?)
    - change windscreen wipers from right resting position to left resting position

    What about
    - front fender horns changes to plastic backsides
    - change to big ignition key washer
    - carpeting in luggage room and interior
    - change from open to flat door pockets
    - changed window crank mechanism from middle screws to far end corner screws
    - changed door cranks to the ones with plastic middle piece
    - leather shift mob change to rubber
    - adding emergency lights
    - change high rim back seats to low back seats
    - change of welded in bucket for the engine lid release knob into door column integrated indent
    - change from 4.5 to standard 5.5 inch wheels
    - introduction egg shaped headrests replacing the type 356

    Pls confirm or deny and let us know yr chassis numbers, post pics and have fun. Lets breed our global half-baked knowledge into something useful
