Question Warranty Protecto-plate, etc.

I will be doing some meticulous detailing on the car at some point. I need some original front floor mats (rubber) as I have the rear. I also think I am missing the fuse box slide cover. I love the color combo as it is identical to the Kadett LS in the catalog and the car drives really great. As far as Autofair???????I'm not sure that my schedule will work out this time as I am having to pay for all my new goodies (shop and car).

I believe the fuse "cover" is supposed to be a card with the warranty "Protecto-plate" on it, remember those! To be honest, I've never actually seen one . . . for an Opel anyway! As I recall, GM started using those around 1966, perhaps earlier . . .

Looking at your underhood pic, always one of my favorite shots, I noticed two things . . . the heater box is bare plastic - mine has exterior grey insulation covering it, and I believe your coil is a replacement, a late-model, molded type, not used in Opels until later, certainly not in '69 models . . . of interest only if you intend on "completely" stock.
