Tim,
I just went up to my attic and examined the roofrack there. Yes it has 10
slats. I *think* a Bekowa was different, the 'regular' ones were perhaps from a
different company? Ive seen Bekowas on thesamba and they look a bit different.

sure if you're missing something. As I say, I'm not sure of the "original
intent" for my roof rack. It fits acceptably on my 1970 Beetle and will
probably fit my 1956 oval, but I was told that my rack was probably made for a
Type 3 (Squareback?). In that case (remember I said my rack has 9 slats, not
10), it maybe should have 9 slats instead of the 10 that you have. I do know,
beyond a shadow of a doubt, that my rack is an ORIGINAL BeKoWa rack, made in
Germany, specifically for VW.> > Tim Osburn, Head Mechanic, Ralph Spoilsport
