Hey Guys - Does anyone have any type 3 rubbers - particulalry - door rubbers, boonet, rubbers and guard beading. I know i can get it all new but thought maybe someone has old stock they no longer need.

Finding someone with type 3 rubbers on hand
You would have to be very Lucky
Although I think I have seen them mentioned on Here before, so You never know Your luck
Wolfsburg Automotive in Victoria does have them
but You probably know that already
best of Luck

they are easy to get new, and I think calcool and kai.a both have a few extras lying around.
my boot/bonnet seals were $45 aussie each from george (vintage) and are WCM. I got door seals from THE DDB in oregon. window rubber is not expensive but sometimes fits like shit. depending on where it comes from.
Thanks Ren - was just hoping to pick up some cheap from someone - there is always someone with stuff in their shed that they no longer need.

good try, NOS stuff is getting fairly rare these days and you would need to have a full wallet if you want them.
I haqve a set but they are staying in my shed.
isp west in Carson California has everything you need and they fit too(always a bonus for a type 3).
Your best bet is to buy from a VW specialist... In melbourne Volkspower in Burwood is your best bet for American made west coast metric.. in my opinion the best going around. Wolfsburg in Hoppers Crossing do EMPI USA made rubbers, I've never tried them but I think they're pretty good. Steer clear of anything coming out of Brazil, they're made from cheap compounds and don't fit properly, defeating the whole purpose of replacing them. While getting stuff from the US is cheaper, postage is a killer so it evens out, and take 6 weeks to get to ya. Good luck.

In the worlds before Monkey primal chaos reigned. heaven sought order, but he pheonix can fly only when its feathers are grown. the 4 worlds formed again and yet again, as the endless aoens weild and passed. Time and the pure essence of heaven and the moisture of the earth all worked upon a certain rock old as creation. And it became mgically fertile. That first egg was named "Thought". Thathaga Buddha, the father Buddha, said with our thoughts we make the world. Elemental forces caused the egg to hatch and from it came a stone monkey! The nature of MONKEY WAS IREPRESSIBLE!!!!! !

Hey David,
If after you see what you have... and if PaulR gets some... could you see if you have a front hood seal and a rear decklid seal for a fasty? (both are same size)
Thanx!
