[Keith Seymore]

The build sheets were not "stuffed" away in obscure places, as much as "left" there.

They were used anywhere where components were built up remotely and then conveyed to the main line. That's why you see them under the carpet, in the seats, on top of the fuel tank, behind the headliner, inside the door trim panels etc.If they were too difficult to remove then they remained where they lay - often covered in tar or with a screw shot through them.

And they were never meant for the owner's eyes. They were an assembly aid that was meant to be thrown away at the end of the line, along with coffee cups, love notes, inspection/repair tickets, extra screws and other pieces of paper.

All plants had rubbish bins at the end of the line. If you are seeing variation then it is just random variation based on who was cleaning the car out.
