What part is this?


I have diligently bagged and tagged hundreds of small parts for my body off 68 resto. Except these.

I thought these were front or rear body pan washers, but the holes have countersunk holes like they take a flush flat countersunk screw.

The washers look exactly like pan washers except longer and two holes.

Pretty sure that are the balance bar on your handbrake lever, which evens out the handbrake cable lengths a little. You only need one per car.

I second Jeff's conclusion.

No unfortunately not. Those are tiny. These are about 2x the size of a body pan bolt washer. Same thickness.

viking is right...the holes in the handbrake balance bar are bigger on the outside for the cables and small in the middle for the pin on the handbrake lever.
i am only schooled in type 3's and i cant say they look like any type 3 part ive ever seen. so must be beetle only ??????

Solved the problem. These are the pan washers inside under the back seat.

They are folded exactly like a body pan. I might have it wrong now as I can't explain the reason for the two countersunk holes. Will have to keep looking. It might become obvious once I start putting the body back on the pan.
