WANTED! Super beetle fuel flap

uncle_paul · 16 Sep 2016, 12:05 pm

Due to a long, frustrating series of events I've lost the fuel filler flap for my 71 super. I can find standard flaps, but the super flap has a different latch, and I think maybe a slightly different shape? Getting a respray soon so any help would be appreciated...

If you let us know your location, you will probably get someone nearby that can help you.

I'm in Brisbane, but happy to pay shipping from wherever

I thought I had one but cannot find it. I am sure there will be someone else pipe up though.

Good luck.

I have one that has the internal release - not just the spring flap as on my old 1975 1303

I actually have the whole cut.
On one of my L's it was rusty and i bought this to do a complete swap over.

That was years ago - drive Vanagons now

Whatever - I'm in Sydney
You want the whole cut or just the flap?

I have a work mate that commutes to Acacia Ridge (sp?) every Thursday - but he has just gone on 2 weeks holiday

Not sure what you mean by the cut, but I'm just after the flap assembly, and the screws if you have them... I'll shoot you a message

Awesome, are you coming to action day at Wynnum in Sunday? I'm not, but I live about two blocks away and can organise someone to be here.

I need the flap, and it's screws if possible. Also, if you have them available I'd need two door hinge screws, screw hole plugs and rear-top door felt channel, and a glove box insert (the one with the bonnet release) only if you have them to spare. My chrome window trim/scrapers are a bit shitty as well, but they don't necessarily need to be changed though...

Everything else can wait though, I need the flap as I'm getting a respray soon

Thanks heaps for the reply.

Any help is appreciated, shoot me a message...
