Just for info, not sure where it changes in production but my prepro has the thin base and I have one standard model with the thin base but that has the cat label.(Both have no rear interior braces)
All of the rest I have had (30) have had the thicker base. J

Hi Jason

You have sharp Eyes.here my variants, plus by the front engine block, cast and open









Cheers Mathias

Since the louvres have now cropped up, can someone please remind me which is the rare one? Is it the 12 or 13 louvre variant (or is this just a different between the two tools)?

Hi Mathias,
What label does your thin base have?
Hugh I have 19 Baja,s , 5 of them are 12 rib.

It doesn't sound as though they are particularly rare then. (At this stage, my guess would be a detail difference between the two tools.)

Hello Jason

My First Casting has a FLower Label.

The 12 louvre casting is not particularly rare, but it is an early issue only made in the first year of production approximately (1971/72). To my knowledge it is only found in combination with black exhausts. It is however found both without and with the engine brace.

No casting differences on my ones but some nice colour variety especially like the dark green
