Hey guys,

Still looking for a few things for the car:

Early beetle steering wheel
Single arm indicator as mine is broken.

Who in the JHB East area can service a beetle at a reasonable price as well as take a look at the front suspension, now looking at keeping the car on the road.

Cheers

Neil

Hey there,

Bit noisy as I drive, might need new rubbers, mostly on the left side, that's why I need some one just to take a look so I know the car is still safe to drive?

Working unmolested indicator arm for the early bugs like yours are not easy to find, will keep a look out.

Got an original indicator arm for your bug. With all wires & terminalts intact, needs a good clean. :D R250 :D
