Ok so it's up for sale again. One catch though; I don't think it will fit a beetle. There are plenty of people disagreeing with me though so I could be wrong. To me it looks like it would be perfect for a notch as the slope doesn't seem to match the beetle roof.
I'm after what I paid: $600 plus postage

The pics don't do this kit justice, I'll see if I can produce some better ones. I've never seen a fully polished Britax anywhere else.
Please u2u or email. I'm hopeless with phones.

anyway to garauntee it would fit in a beetle?

One man's junk...
one way to check, would be to grab the under/inside frame and put it in a bug thats got no head-linning to see if it sit flush or close to it.
is there a bug at a junk yard near you that you could tear the head liner out to see?
Damn I havn't seen many notches with a rag...sounds trick
yay its for sale. can i be top of the list i need one asap ASAP lol. if no one ells is b4 me i will buy it right now

I've pulled my headliner out in anticipation a few months ago. Bug Boy came over and had a look and that's how the verdict was arrived at.
bummer, i was waiting for a pic of it on elmo to show up in members rides

thanks anyway

How many threads are there for this item? I replied to what I thought was the current thread and sent a U2U yesterday - but no response, only to find this thread today. I'm out.
Chill mate. There was some info I wanted to get out in the open first. If you still want it then great. But don't start a whinge session on a for sale thread please.

wow...where did you manage to find that???
Congrats.... good score
Futue te ipsum!!!
Yeah that's what I was thinking!
tg: do you know anyone down here with a twin cab? That was the other thing that BugBoy and I thought it might fit. The curve at the front of the frame isn't agressive enough for a beetle but would be very close to a t3 or t2 I think
cheers i got it today i put wanted add in paper and some one phoned me up got the complete kit

could you get a straight edge and measure the bow from the edge to the roof top and do the reverse with the Britax???
Futue te ipsum!!!
I'll give it a go over the weekend and see what we come up with
Ok so finally measured it.
The rag opening is about 800mm square.
The side is almost flat with a 7mm curve (up to apex and then away).
The ends (front and back) have a more agressive curve but still nothing like a beetle about 20mm (again to apex and then away.
Both Empi and BUGBOY have had a look at this now and both agree that it would be closest fit for either a Kombi or a square. Empi's notch curved too much at the sides for it.
So would it be cool bananas to put into a Square ?
I'd be most interested if it does
Cheese
According to Empi and BUG BOY that's the verdict, although I haven't got one lying around to test it on :thumb
....hate to think it may even be for an MG 😠
Hi rob bring rag into workshop have a square back (mine too) u can try on.
