Beetle engine bay tar boards
Does anyone know where you can buy good quality thick tar boards like the original ones for an S bug? The only ones I have seen are pretty thin and
bow when you fit them inside the engine bay.
Thanks

Mick motors has got some good (heavy) repo tar boards in stock. Make sure you keep yours to transfer wiring holes to nrw ones.

I'd think about glueing them to some thin ali sheet or something similar to stop this happening. After the first summer the new boards looked like
this.
And before you ask, yes they were quality ones from one of the above suppliers.

I have none in my S bug at the moment as my last ones got sucked in to the fan so I took them all out. The ones in my 68 are fine though with no real
issues.
I want to keep the original look although I will be adding dynamat to the interior side of the engine bay later some time as well.
Might call in to Micks and have a look next time I am over that way. In the meantime, if anyone knows of some NOS ones, let me know.
