Good to see another Country Buggy pop up. I dont have any pics of KO 498, so if you could post some up that would be great.
Cheers

Hi, another CB, good stuff.
The spring plates are beetle. Parts book says 111 511 205A. They do have a 4th hole drilled in them however. You’ll have to do that. They are available new, I expect this is the one http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=VWC-111-511-205-B Beetle 61 to 68. Probably available in Australia, try some of the advertisers on this forum.
Good luck.
Tony
