what model beetle have you got, the type 3 are the same.

If its for the Beach buggy, then take the car to Midas, they will have something to fit, that is part of their service.

May not be VW, but they will have the right thing for you.

Miami,.... you need to call out,.... once you start asking around plus rolling a few stones over,..... you find the network!.... plus a few phone calls never hurt.

Do. You know of a guy that goes by the name of Gerald?,..... his son Neil seems to have taken over the interests in Greenbushes?

It all depends whatyou ar e lookingfor ?,.... stick to this forum !!!!! You will get helped some or other time.
