I hoping someone here maybe able to help me track down an interior light delete (see image below) to suit my 1965 standard beetle.

I know they are extremely rare but on the off chance someone here has one OR know someone that may have one please let me know.

Willing to pay good money.

Cheers!

Hi
YES
they are VERY RARE...

Most would have been thrown away when an actual light was wired up..

Really?!

Have been on the hunt for one for 12 months now and haven't had any nibbles at all. Let me know if you find it, regardless of the condition I'll take it!

I've come up with a plan B.... Does anyone have one I could borrow for a couple of days so I can make a resin mould of it??

I might have a T3 (water cooled van) one that you could possibly modify & them cast a mould ???????


juzzandy - October 20th, 2014 at 07:24 PM

I can make that work. I've sent you an email. Thanks!

After a good couple of years of hunting it appears I may have finally found myself a genuine interior light blank for my standard beetle. I'm planning on making a cast and producing a small run if there is enough demand. Any takers? And what would be a reasonable price?

depends what its made of brass or plastic maybe fimo?? or timber??
I have a blank6 volt bug one lol
