Toby,
I don't know if the headliner bows are the same from square to notch but I have some new ones coming with my interior for the square. When I rip out the original headliner I'd part with the ones on the car if they will fit. Will be a few weeks though.
When you find out where to get carpet from let me know, I need some too.
Cheers,
Greg

Greg, I think they are the same so that sounds promising. Where did you buy your new ones from?
Carpet...hmmm I know "you can get it at vintage" but there must be other options. Will let you know what eventuates.

Got them from eVW parts with the rest of my TMI stuff. Unsure of the condition of mine but I just figured why not get new ones while I'm at it. Car wasn't even here when I ordered the interior.
BTW my driver side door card has about 1/4 of it missing but the passenger side is OK, just has a 5 inch or so hole in it for a speaker. Should do the job for what you want I guess. Again will be available when the interior gets here.

Greg: Thanks mate will be in touch!
Vlad: more info on crank please? also what's the door glass like?
bushed: 68 model 12 volt
Cheers.
vlad01 路
umm the crank is 69mm stock forging. from a 1500N
I will check the glass for ya.
vlad01 路
the right door glass looks good from what I can tell, left has 2 tiny chips on the inside, they look like stone chips but obviously cant been as they are inside.
they are about 1mm in size.
type3lover 路
Thanks Vlad. I'll get back to you on the crank once I know if mine can be used or not. It needs to be a "12 volt" 69mm forged beetle crank (or CB, berg, scat etc) and I think yours might be 6v with smaller oiling holes as this is what I used to have with my type 3?
I have already paid to have it balanced with my flywheel but 4 of the dowel holes are out of round and the other 4 are perfect so it's had a hard life and been redrilled at some point.
If the machinist can't use larger dowels I may have to scrap it as it won't be strong enough. I'm waiting for him to get to my engine parts and tell me what's good and what's not so good.
Re the door glass...what is the condition of the metal strips at the bottom (assuming they are attached)?
vlad01 路
errh the metal strips? oh those ones. umm they are great condition.
they worked no probs and look good.
mattie 路

to Zocstar : there are a number of options for carpet so it's best to ask them yourself 馃憤
type3lover 路
Ok I got the banjo bolt, old door card and a crank today so a good result.
The window channels are apparently the same as beetle and readily available, so are the rubbers so good news there!
Got some leads to follow up as well. Thanks Paul.

i too wouldnt mind seeing some pics of that carpet,
a friend just bought some for his falcon, pretty cheaply, cost 150 with the felt underlay.
when i enquired about carpets for a type 3 they said 250.
what kits/pieces did you get?
vlad01 路
should give you an idea. they have a price list on there somewhere. I would give you a direct link but I can't website wont give out the direct link info 馃檯
says they only have a multi-piece kit for the type 3 and when i called up they said it was 250.
so just wondering what carpet pieces/carpet type cost 150.
oh and that just cars mag you were referring to vlad didnt happen to be the may 2000 issue by any chance?
lol thats the one ive got and the tru-fit ad is on the inside of the front cover
vlad01 路
yes I think it was 2000. I remember I was in year 7 high school when I saw that, and year 7 was in 2000.
