I have black toggels on my 63 +4 and the long (old) ones are scarce. I have
2 long and 2 short. I have looked for NOS at lots of car flea markets but so
far none have been found. Good luck!
The windscreen gasket question is a toss up. I have seen and been told both
directions. Mine faces inward. In the long run, I really don't think it will
matter much in the rain. It is going to leak no matter which way it faces.
