wtd: eye lids that dont rust

Want some eye lids for my Fasty. The ones I have spot rust after every shower of rain and need polishing straight away.

Who has them please.

Thanks.

Classic Vee-Dub at Rydalmere has the Stainless steel ones I now use, I think they were about $25
I originally got the crap ones for $35 & they had to have the rust cleaned off every week

get stainless steel ones.. ive got em on my oval at the mo and no more rust.. hooray..
i got mine from micks motors from memory..

i bought some EMPI stainless steel ones at valla for $20 but i cant remember who from
i think it may have been classic vw but they havent rusted yet
so might be worth a quick fone call...

id take some rustys if any one wants to get rid of them!..

Stainless steel doesn't normally rust...

neither does good chrome.....

so why do they keep using junk chrome????

just wipe the cheep ass ones down with some fish oil, no more rust ever 🙂

The Busstop has real good brass ones, I've had them on my beetle for ages. The design is much more stylish too.

Maybe they have, (or can put you on to) ones for upright headlights.
