Karmann dash pad 1960
Hi all,..... Yes I am a rookie on this forum,.... Have intr'd myself already AND posted a few pics of my ride,... After some "extensive" training from an "associate",........ From the " Goose",..... My son.
Now the question: some time ago,... Probably a year or more I have seen on gumtree a guy putting a dash pad(glass fibre) up for sale. I have saved his phone number for future reference,...... And as usual deleted it about 3 months ago,....... BIG mistake!!!! I am now in need of this glass fibre dash pad or similar.
Is there anybody out there that could assist in trying to "relocate" this guy or perhaps a similar pad ...
Talk to me please

I can only think of Herman (Retrovan), but he was making these for Type 3 cars only

Sambas in South Africa are good for only 2 things: showing off and sunburn.

Thanks Jolas,....... The next step in my "training" will be to learn how to contact individuals
My gut tells me this guy was from around Cape Town somewhere.

He lives in Port Elizabeth. He will probably chime in on this thread soon, but if you want to make personal contact with an ACVWSA member, you can send a "PM" personal message.Haans wrote:Thanks Jolas,....... The next step in my "training" will be to learn how to contact individuals

The home and board index pages will have the option and often when you see the user name anywhere on the forum and selecting or highlighting it, you will have the option to send that person a PM

He is ready to Clime in right now.........
Hi again Haans,
yes I make type 3 dashes, but not the Karmann_Ghia ones.
I think the last place I saw some for sale was on "The Samba" but that will be an import.
Not much call for Ghia RHD dashes, so will be expensive to make in big quantities.
Good luck with your search

Re: Karmann dash pad 1960
Got the dash pad a week ago,......sections fitting around the A- pillar is cracked / broken,....... Could also be from transporting, not going to be fussy about it
Got piece that broke off,.....and will be fitting it soon,..... It will require some fettling though.
Will keep you posted on progress.

Re: Karmann dash pad 1960
Windscreens you say? My lowlight windscreen is badly pitted and scratched by wipers.
Any idea where I could get a new one?

Re: Karmann dash pad 1960
Andy,..... Yip the guy that sold dash pad told he had windscreens.
Sure these screens will fit all ghia's
Not sure how to do a "private" message,..... Maybe you know then I can share details.
