I have a late bus logo, but I don't know if it will fit a '78.  I bought
a bunch of stuff a while ago from someone who had had both a '71 and a
'76 bus, which according to parts catalogs have different logos.  Does
anyone know what is the difference?  It is 25 cm across, has four little
grooved pegs to hold it on, and is chrome or some good facsimile thereof
(could it be stainless steel?).

I don't need it because my bus is a '62 and I alread paid too much
money for a bent, rusty logo  :-(
