Hi All,

I am looking for the reproduction items for my '54 oval:

1. Engine bay deadener (original tatty item caught on fire whilst body work was being done)!
2. Cardboard front boot liner

I am wanting to try to source reproductions of the original supplied items. Any leads??

Cheers

Craig

certainly! Chris from vw bugs in the states sells the engine bay deadener

and the best i can find for an oval is a 56 front mat from ww

i have a 54 so i can cross reference if it is correct enough over the weekend if you like?

Helped me if that counts any.... Thanks for the links

no problems! 🙂 did you end up getting the parts?

No yet, been a bit slack with everything lately

cool im a while off getting to my oval. if you beat me to the mark post a pic it would be cool to see those parts fitted. Chris has a video showing how to fit the engine bay deadener too if that helps when it comes time.

Hey,

Thanks for the thought anyway!

I have ended up painting the rear firewall and using dynamat inside under the carpet as I could't find this product. I may decide in the end to purchase some but will wait and see.

Cheers
