I have two pairs of these for sale @ $25 pair, they are brand new. Nice and chromey! :thumb
When I bought them, I was told they'd fit from '68 onwards, but they didn't fit my '70 or my boyfriend's '73. I guess they're for pre '68, but check the photo. They are for the narrower-shape door handle groove.

I am happy to post to whoever is interested, no xtra $$.
Just post on this thread or u2u me.

Nope, unfortunately I didn't even make it to the swap meet! 🥲 I found these on eBay a couple of months ago, and it's a shame to see them go to waste.... they'd look awesome on someone's Bug!

Sure! Measuring where it clips into the actual door handle, the long length across is 11.8cm, by 6.5cm. The dish part is about 8mm. They would be easy to cut and file to modify though if needed to be a bit smaller.....

Hope that helps! 🙂

Hi Pretty Blue Bug,
I'm interested, in Perth, for my '63 beetle. Can anyone on here confirm that they'll fit? I'll go out and measure in the morning too.
Cheers.

If you have the long narrow door handle grooves, then these will fit. I'm not sure which year they changed to the larger groove.... sorry!

Would more interest be gained if I say they are now $20 each pair....? It's a shame to see them sitting on a shelf.... 🥲
