Hello Dubbers!
I am just about to order some parts from the US for my 67 and they only have the option of 1958-1964 or 1965-71. Does anyone know which year range is
the US equivalent?
Cheers,
Kev
What parts are you after I would have though local suppliers here have most of what you need?
Depends on what your buying but i'dd say the 58 - 64 bracket would suit you
my money i on 58-64
US 67's looked like our 68's but with early bumpers
About to start the resto and need a load of parts, just easier to order them all in one place.
Cheers,
Kev
Cheers Guys!
depends which parts
window rubbers you would need 58-64 but everything below that would be right with 64-66 US stuff
Not sure about that, I think there might be quite a few more little differences between the US/Euro 65-66 and Aussie 65-67s, apart from the windows
and rubbers. Exterior metal trim, door locks and handles, and all the door innards, are different. Mechanically different too; they got a ball-joint
front end.
For all Aussie 1963-1967 Beetles, it's safer to stick with ordering US parts for a '63. Even then - be careful of LHD components (eg carpets...)

the ozzy 67 is quite a half breed, but is mostly an early, so a US '64 will be your closest bet, i went through the same thing when i got mine 
buy the parts from Aussie then u wont have to return them to the US to get correct parts
