WTB 68' Beetle Parts - Sydney
Now that we are out of lockdown (again) I'm ready to restart getting parts for my restoration.
I'm looking for the following original parts. This is my wish list! If you don't ask, you cannot receive.
1. A pair of 67 and earlier armrests. These have a metal (not plastic) chrome strip in the midriff. Black would be ideal, but I will repaint them
anyway with vinyl paint so long as they are in good condition.
2. A pair of 68 window winders. These are the metal ones with chrome bodies and a central plastic black inlay. Later ones were all black and made of
plastic. I am looking for something that doesn't have rust pimples on the chrome, if possible.
3. A working bellows thermostat. I know I can buy new from the US but would like to source locally if possible.
4. The hood release conduit (9mm OD pipe I've been told) that goes from the dash to the hood lock. This takes the hood release cable. I seem to have
lost mine during the disassembly process.
5. The hood release cable that has the black "squash ball" and spring used on the '68 model. Even if I can just get the ball and spring, I can
probably source a cable from another year model.
I am in North West Sydney. Please PM me if you can assist.
