Hi i have a 71 type 3. Im after the metal plate brackets that hold the pop outs in. If any 1 is wrecking an older wagon or notch at the mo and can cut the section out of the pillars that would be great. Thanks Telf

Why? It's exactly the same. Except another vw doesn't have to die to provide it. You do know they aren't making any more of them don't you?

totally different to a type one pop out bud....
oh, and in regards to your comment about not making them anymore, well, yeah they aint, but if someone has a wrecked one, why not salvage part from it to make another car "better". as you see, the OP was asking if someone was wrecking one....

Nah, I got the pillars from someone else. Didn't actually realize how hard they were to find until now.

So Does any 1 know of a wrecked 1?

couldn't you just fab something up?

from memory it's nothing special, just a piece of flat bar with a bend in it.

you could even hard rivet the plate in to save welding it aznd the possibility of burning your headliner
