As described, I need a left-hand rear "elephants foot" mudguard from a 75/76 Beetle NOT 1974. Can anyone help?

What is the difference between 1974 and 1975-1976?

I have a 1974 guard if you want it. It looks exactly like the guard on my 1975

The later guards are wider to cover the different offset wheels. Although, the situation might be that my car has had a 'repro' guard fitted - the left is a full inch narrower than the factory original right!!

karmen - thanks, but I'll get one in Syd so don't waste your time and effort bringing one down. I'm not sure what;s what with these widths; a few people reckon mine is a cheapo repro manufactured from modified 6V Beetle stamps/dies, rather than proper late-model presses...

I dont believe that there were 2 different guards 4 the 75 / 76 models it may have been bent outwards at some time or the oppisite one bent inwards

Strange things can happen to 40 years old cars

Stock VWs only had 4.5 inch wheels and as an option you could get some 5.5 sports wheels

you must have after market guards or home made widies

Wheels fit just under the guard on one side, but sticks out an inch on the other... I now think one guard is an aftermarket replacement
