Haven't used them, my guages are all too big or too small. Metal. Surface is slightly rough, waiting to be painted/finished I guess. I'm a bit shattered but I was going to do a full dash change anyway. $60 plus postage.

Sorry, I made mine from aluminium.....

Bloody terrible job..... would have rather bought them...

I did buy a set from the USA with thoughts of turning them over..... but they aren't the same shape...
LHD are different to RHD in reverse.... strange but true...

Same as a fuel flap from a 1971 1302S is different to a fuel flap from a 68 Beetle..... why change that ????

Depends on how you want them posted. Not much though as they're quite light and small.

Lee, a '68 Beetle fuel flap doesn't have a remote opening cable like a '69+ does....
