Anyone know where to get newbies?
The '70 square project I've bought has been resprayed, and they took them out. I have 1 replacement, but it seems too small, probably an earlier Type 3, so I need 2 newies.
My Mechanic got us a new set for my wife's Notch, but they were about $300.
Your brainvomits on the subject would be most appreciated so that I can waterproof these bloody doors!!!
Muchos Gracias!
Martin.😉
Anyone know where to get a good set? Or do I have to look in South America?
P.S. Apparently the bug sets can be cut down but end up being a mess???
As usual, your brain contents are highly regarded and appreciated.
P.P.S. I bought the project without any (after a respray at some stage).
Last time I got any they were at Micks, but they were type 3 ones.
But that was about a year ago or so............................

Thanks Mate - what was the price roughly? (in post Christmas poverty mode)
A VW mechanic in Qld (years ago, can't remember who) once old me he modified Kombi scrapers to suit type 3s. Apparently a lot cheaper than trying to get type 3 specific scrapers which as you know cost mega-bucks.

Do a search in this section from memory. I modified mine for a about $20 a side and a couple hours work. They work really well. My post has pics etc.

How many sets of lights does it take a $229k Carrera S to learn? 😂 UPDATE: Cayman S, M3, B4 now added to the list.
Eeerrrkk,
really can't remember, sorry.
They open again tomorrow so give them a call and see what they say. They may not have any left as I thought it was odd that they had any in the first place.

I think Vintage still has some left 02-9789-1777
No its not a bug one its a Kombi outer that can be used but it has to be riveted etc etc
Bugger OK now I see your dilema. Did you see that post where someone bought them ffrom ISPWest from states, says they seem OK. I would be very suprised if you could not get the alloy suurounds from someone on here. They just get chucked out with so many of the doors that are completely cactus.

Sounds good - thanks Mate!👍
I've got the left scraper from a pair I bought for over $300 a few years ago. Only needed the right one and it was a perfect fit. Claimed to be the genuine item but there's no VW stamping. Mine was a 68 (early shape), so I don't know if there are any differences in the scrapers from early to late models but pm me if you think it might suit you.
Cheers

Yeah - as far as I know the door glass is larger in the later models. But feel free to set me straight if I'm talking crud! Thanks though mate!
I think there the same both early n late
Windows the same as Dave says but bailey channell is a smaller section on early body. I think the early one used the Bug channel whereas the 70???? on used a slightly wider groove in the quarter window hence a wider bailey channel. I know I had dramas with this from a supplier in Melbourne who insisted they were all the same untill I sent them a piece of the early extrusion from the quarter window. Hope that helps.
