HELLO ALL
I AM AFTER EARLY TYPE 3 ARM RESTS FOR FRONT DOOR TRIMMS, PREF BLACK
THANKS

Have a couple here but they would need re-covering. I had some re-covered a few yars back and although they had slightly different "pimples" on the vynil they looked ok. I'll have a look tonight and see what I have. I think there are a couple of rears as well.

I have some - '63 white and chrome - I'll check out if I have black - pretty sure most early were red or white ?

Hang on! White and chrome??? If it's a 63 it will have the long armrests in grey from the standard model or black from the 1500S.

Are these the ones Volkspower is after? If so and you can get them re-covered in Melbourne they are yours (NO! Not the ones in the photo!!) There is the full set of front and rear.

Think I have a couple of spares in my shed.Think they are not A1.Am getting a skip in over easter so will have a lookie

yes 1500S your are correct, by the way .... nice S, it is a genuine german built 's'?. is the sea blue the og colour?

1500S,I have the long black ones in my '67 TS fastback - but the arm rests in my early cars ('63 S & '64 notches) are curved & round with chrome strip (Red and white). So which came first ??? Did they start with the long ones and have a break ?? or do europe and aussie ones differ ?? Like to know anyone?. I'll stick a photo up.

My 62 has grey "Z" bars as standard.

Hi Dyno whats happenin dude?

1500, scene is growing in leaps and bounds when yoyu comin down here???

A

Dyno. Yes, it is a genuine German built 1500s from 64 manufacture. The sea blue is the original colour. I added the pearl white roof. Note that the join lines are slightly different to the original two tone lines. It is more like the OZ paint lines of the 64-65 S and I thought it looked better at the time. Maybe I'll change it one day!

David. The early (first) notch and S/B had the long armrests (one piece) and continued to 1965 with the German 1500S. The single carb German built notch and S/B vehicles only went to 1963 here so that's where the long armrests ceased on these "standard" models. The F/B of 66 on to ???? had the three piece plastic (body in two pieces plus a padded top on the rear section of it) long armrest with the aluminium trim strip along it. The rear rest of the F/B had the same aluminium trim along it.

Notches and S/B vehicles of 66 on had the short handle/armrest. ALL OZ BUILT VEHICLES (64 on) had the short type fitted.

Hope I've got it all right!

DH

sounds good

Thanks 1500S - I'll check out the manuf. dates on the oldest two maybe they've replaced door cards or so. Also my '66 ts does have the alloy strip on the long ones. taa David. PS Volkspower, sorry for stealin' your show - at least it's a bump up. good luck.
