<VV> Weight canisters

[Rick & Janet Norris]

I have been told by a knowledgeable person that the front weights are more 
important than the rears and the rears can be left out. I have no personal 
experience with this as my 69 vert has all four and when I re-habbed the 
engine compartment I put them back in place.
When I over hauled the ex WV governors convertible it was missing the rears. 
A PO had replaced the sheet metal panel with one from a coupe which didn't 
have the necessary mounting nuts. I drilled new holes and replaced the rear 
shakers.
