Ok, Bentley 26.7 was my original source.  I'm missing the strut to the cat
and you're missing the one from the L-bracket to the bottom rear of the
case (where the tin mounts).  I'll measure mine if you'll measure yours
<g>.  I observe in passing that VW in their wisdom made the most
complicated possible system *just* for us 83.5-85 owners.  It's much
simpler both before and after. :-/
