67 beetle C Channel
Als1967Type1 - December 11th, 2011 at 08:55 PM

Hi Everyone,
the front and rear boot C channel in my 67 has rusted out and I'm looking for a supplier in Austraila. I know I can get it from CIP1 however I would rather purchase it here and I also don't want to pay $56 postage for a $7 item.
I don't have the tools to make it myself so if anyone has any ideas then please let me know.

I ended up getting it through CIP1 and paid for the postage. I couldn't get it pre bent, for the lower part of the engine cover, but I should be able to bend it with a metal shrinker and an oxy. Once it's on all the metal work will be complete and I can concentrate on paint. Still deciding if it should be the factory mid blue or the factory beige.
