hey man

ive just bought a 65 square and am also looking to get my floor pan halves replaced.

i have been in contact with Custom Vee Dub at stafford and Eileen there is trying to source some for me. you might wanna give her a call to see if she can get some for you too

Classic Veedub also told her that Karmann Ghia pan halves will fit the type 3's and they might be getting some in...

do you know if thats true??

Shape at the curved corner is slightly different I think. A lot of cmpanies sell KG pans as Type 3 but they then have to modify them. Wolfsburg in Melbourne are as far as I know the only place in Oz any way you can get them as PHAT BUG said.
P.S. might want to search before asking sometimes helps this same question was answered a week ago. Look down 7 posts 😂

modify them ? in what way ?

I actually though they had the same part number but maybe I am thinking of websites that advertise type 3 / KG pans as the same thing.

Have you ever fitted them or done this mod you mention ?

No haven't myself but when I was chasing up some for my squareback a few different shops told me the same thing, that you can use the KG pans but they would have to be modified to fit. As I said above it needs to be modified around the footwell area but as to how much and how hard Im not sure.

Beat me to it Jase with the link 👍
The Type 3 and 34 ghia pans are also very close apart from the seat rails.
