I am looking for a couple flash trim clips.I had more than enough but a couple were old and snapped so i need a couple so the trim can be nice an
tight. Looking for singles or whatever you have but the most i need is 5 so i can have about 2 extra.Any help is appreciated. To my understanding the
trims are being repoped, so i dont know if they made clips as well.But any help is appreciated.
Please PM me or email me at HotVolkswagenz@aol.com
**Also looking for an Australian Flying Hood Emblem/Ornament.So if you have one that you are looking to part with, i am interested.**
Please PM me or email me if you have anything at HotVolkswagenz@aol.com

Lee
do you have a pic of a clip??
probally the US of AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Are they the same as your standard side trim???
-Los Angeles, CA US of A if that helps clips ressurect from the dead.
-No they are not the same as standard trim clips.
I believe Wolfsburg Automotive in Victoria do reproductions of the flash trims that they tout as better than the originals.....

its the smiths gauge package like this
but not like this one in my Oval
You may have to make the spring clips from some small coil springs you can unwind the wire and re shape it to make the clip same as the others there very hard to find now days
We've got NOS flash trim clips if you still need them.

VW54, The pic of the one on the bonnet is my old one and my turbo cars bonnet. I now have a couple with the 3 guages as I took a mould off the one I
sold and stuck it on the cnc and modified it to take guages. Sold mine to someone in the UK. I have spare clips, PM me and we will work something
out.

My Smiths 3in1 gauge is just like the one Turbo has. Ive personally never seen any literature on the second set up.
But i do also have the Smiths 2 gauge cluster that i will be installing and swapping gauges. Thanks for everyones help.I will be PMing some people now
and see if i can get what i need.
that 2 gauge panel is out of a Aussie Holden or Chev in yr case
Dave
You have any literature on your 3 gauge set up??
Or was that faked with an original grill??
no literature they were an aussie invention ive seen a few around especially the 3 in 1 smiths set up
it was a common gauge in the 60ss in aussie use in several after market set ups for other makes as well.
Well to my understanding the set up like mine and turbos were originals made for VW and Porsche. I have seen literature on these. What you have, seems
to be the original smiths grill with holes cut to add 2 more gauges and an added clock that fits.I can be wrong, but ive never seen anything on that
set up. Maybe something and aussie "invented" and others copied, kind of like cal look one piece windows
I have one of the single gauge holders, I have a few gauges and a copy of this.
I like the 3 gauge unit, very nice.
Thats the exact same brochure i seen. I have to get a copy of that one day from you Nathan.
Daves set up is different, but not original. Not something worth blowing your own horn over.
its origional

So Dave, the grill has the stamped openings on the grill for the 2 inch gauges on the sides??I cant really tell in the picture.Its definitely and original Smiths grill, but im wondering if the 2 smaller gauges were added or come original.
