[SCG] 65 & 66 doors

Tom, 
  
Thanks for all your help.  This information is extremely valuable in doing my restoration.  I will definitely cut the slots into the early production late model doors that I am using to restore the car.  I'm not sure it's worth changing the internal "L Brackets".  While the newer L brackets are wider, do they really add much to the design?  Additional thoughts on this would be welcome from anyone on the mailing list. 
  
I will be attending the Corsa International Convention In Tacoma Washington next year.  Will you be attending?

I was at the Corvair Ranch today and inspected about five 1967 and five 1969 two door Corvairs.  All of these vehicles had the slots in the doors with the metal regulator stop.   None of these vehicle doors had the outer door skin tabs on the bottom area of the door.  This tells me GM discontinued these tabs probably sometime in the late 1966 model year.  I am glad I could assist you with this issue.
