1-5 Australian Flash Trim Clips Wanted
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
Thank You
Manny

what does that mean???
If they weren't the same as beetle clips then they are probably the same as used on holdens and fords as the flashes were very popular back in the
50s & 60s..
can't you get a plastic clip to do the same thing??
try -

they have lots of old parts NOS

LOL, i knew about the arses=asses, but i was just typing away uncautiously.
I dont get into the whole rat, patina thing cause everyone has there take on what is what. Society like labeling everything now days.
I just find it easier to buy them with the time i have, and at the same time i am bitchy about having original parts on my car. If i had a Rat bug
then i would make them  lol
Well hopefully i can source some soon.
Thanks again

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

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.

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

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.
