If someone can get me the size they want - I can source the vinyl and
reproduce them as my bro has a vinyl plotter cutter.
Having a donor sticker would be the best way, and I would return it after I
scan it.

As a side note:
Eric's 85 urQ was repainted 2 years ago, and he ordered the OOOO rings for
the doors from the dealer, but they are not identical to the ones we all
know, dot-pattern+fading. His are solid silver, no dots, no fading. Anyone
has seen this before ?

-----Message d'origine-----
Still mystified as to why Jack's would be different, especially since
they have the right numbers and come from the dealer...(?)

Interesting info, John. So it was done before...
In a few days, and I will have the (definitive?) answer for the seat height
mechanism swap on the Type 85q. Dismantling of the seats will begin tonight,
as I have access to a press car for a few days... so my urQ can stay
seatless for a while.
