Hey Ed. Has it started to rain over there yet? We're expecting like 3 fronts to pass through there (coming here) starting Monday. Yeah, the documentation is a bit sparse. Another thing I notice is that John F. is referring to his late-model Amphis where both of mine are among the oldest of the oldies. Documentation usually evolves with the car.

If they did the replacement parts wouldn't fit or there would be various
versions of these parts in the parts book.

Assuming that the car company felt they could afford the luxury of full
documentation.
Documentation on my Benz is a study in Teutonic overkill, but IWK, at the
far other end of the industrial continuum, wasn't spending money on
illustrators and manual writers. Un-documented and semi-documented
variations abound in the Amphi world (rear bumpers, rear axles, bilge plugs,
wiring, suspension, shift linkage, paint, chrome all come to mind).
