Another question for the Trust, wouldn't this have dash clearance problems with the shorter steering column in anything post '60? Splines not an issue.

Nice pics. Was there any hot coco at the show F0nz??

Looking for a pair of Deep-6 Fuchs, not repros.

Let me know via PM if you have any you want to part with.

Cheers

Thanks for the lead Rhett. I am a bit confused as I thought they would be the same as on my 58, but Cip shows a different part number for 52-57 and 58+ Anyone know if they are the same? My understanding is that oval drums are narrower so they are indeed different. Personally I'd go with later drums...

Just need one, pretty urgently.

Appreciate any assistance.

Cheers

The latch mechanism for both my vent windows have both snapped off, so I am looking for some new vent window assemblies for my 56 oval. I'm not sure of the nuances in beetle vent windows but I'd guess anything from 56-64 would fit.

Let me know what you have.

Not a 356 but a 550. Saw this today in Wellington NZ, but registration in Oz would be challenging.

Sorry, yep it's a Type 1 Ghia dash that I am looking for.

After a RHD Karmann Ghia dash, I am not sure of the differences in the dashes over the years but I think 1963 or earlier will do the trick. Will need the dash and glovebox lid, no need for the gauges.

PM me if you have something that may work.

Hi Jaison, thanks for the offer. It's guys such as yourself that really make the Luft great. I ended up ordering a few things to justify the cost of postage here.

A long shot. I lost a centre cap for an American Eagle Empi 5 spoke wheel, so looking for a replacement. Anyone got one or know where I could source one locally?

Looks like this:

Postage on the above one is a bit too $$$.

Cam

After sourcing one from Ol (thanks mate), it turns out that, despite looking extremely similar, it wasn't quite the right size. My pulley is around 182mm in diameter, and the replacement one I have is 175mm in diameter. Lip looks exactly the same. http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j312/Nevada51/WMJ9...

Probably can be, but I don't have a welder, and its my daily driver so need it sorted ASAP

Cheers Leroy, I may have sourced one locally - will know later this evening. If not, I may take you up on yours.

Cheers

Jase, not sure what the difference is. Here's a close up if that helps any.



Cam

I don't believe my 36HP crankshaft pulley is supposed to be in two pieces as shown in the pic, so I am in urgent need of a replacement. Anyone got one they want to part with??



PM me.

One of the best cars there IMO.

Hardly any Pre-A's this year.

Cam

Very nice, anyone know who owns this split?
Cam

On the way home - what my 6 y/o son seat when we're driving


Cam

A long shot I know, but does anyone have a set of split beetle rims they want to part with??

PM me details.

I'm currently running a 4.5" narrowed beam with CB spindles. The spindles push it out around 0.5" on either side. I am looking to go back to a more stock look, but still want to keep the option of swapping the 4.5" beam back in. I may end up putting the stock beam back in :shock: but ...
