I've got a late MK I and it's got 'em. However, I don't know if the style
(ie stanpart number) changed over the years. I suspect it was the same
until the MK IV/1500 body change (square tail). Rear fender bead changed, I
wouldn't be surprised if the other little bits of dress up changed as well.
BTW, Ted Schumacher has the original parts books, so he can look up the
original number, cross ref, etc. His e-mail is mailto:tedtsimx@q1.net if
you want to send him a line VFR direct. Standard
no-financial-gain-disclaimers apply, Ted's just been good to me -- quick
responce, reasonable prices, & good advice.
Later-
Chris

Thanks, Richard.
I struck out with TRGB. These items seem to be scarcer than hen's teeth.
What about it, Ted Schumacher? You lurking out there with a set for me?
Out of curiosity, did early Mk1, Mk2 and later Mk4 and 1500's employ the
same finishing caps? If so, I might find it easier to locate a set.
Best wishes,
