I have purchased some new tar boards and I can't remember what wires go behind and in front of it. It is a 1965 Beetle, if anyone has pictures of the wiring in the engine bay that would help a lot as well. Thanks 馃憤

Yup, VW54 has that right.

Can I ask where you bought your tarboard and for how much? Looking to replace on mine but know some of the cheaper stuff is rather thin and heard problems of it heat sagging and being sucked into the fan. Cheers 馃檪

I think I will leave it out for now as I still need to sort out the wiring.

I bought it from Classic Vee Dub for $72. It was the 5mm thick option and is pretty good quality. I think I also saw a 2mm option that was cheaper but would be a lesser quality. If you are buying it from Classic Vee Dub just be prepared to wait as some orders get sent straight away or it can take months.
