to be technically correct, should an australian 56 have overiders or not?

im thinking I may leave them off regardless, but what is "right"

Jay_1965vw ·

don't think it should. 61 had them as an aftermarket accessory.

if tit helps all oval deluxe models had the small overrider...in australia anyways...no towel rails as this was a US requirement

amazer ·

hmm I actually meant the towel rail bit.

So I just should have the blade bumpers, is that what the concensus is?

Is that the aftermarket towel rails?

Jay_1965vw ·

Mmm.. sorry, my bad. "accessory" towel rails.
