Type 4 GRP under tins

Cheers dude

Once You've taken a mould from an OG part, they easy enough... This time of year, I apply the gel coat of an evening, then lay up the matting the next day... day after that you can pull it from the mould... a couple of days to cure off fully and you can dress the edges

Type 1 front and rears are currently available from kingfisher kustoms in GRP, but you still need to use a piece of beetle rear tin on the rear section... Plus the GRP parts that they sell are around 5mm thick... so not easy to fit!!

I do currently have a front and rear piece of genuine LB tin on the shelf, so I'll look them out in the next week or so to see what shape they're in, and whether I can mould them easily enough!!

 

Received a set the other week.

Really good quality and very well made.

Cheers Paul

 

Hows the fit ?

 

Have only offered them up so far but from what I can see they are a great match

 

Just as good as OG

 

I had one but it fell off so i might be given you a shout after pay day

 

no problem

 

Paul,

Would you know if they fit the early US spec heat exchangers years 72 - 74 only, they look like the UK CJ engine code versions like this

Thanks

 

as long as they are the same as UK heat exchangers, then they should... I'll have a measure up and throw some numbers at you... might help determine if they do fit!!

 

Ok that would be good. Thanks

 

Hi have you still got stock for the 2.0ltr bottom panels.
thanks

 

I'm currently in the process of making some more up... Do you want me to put you down for a set??

 

Did anyone get anywhere with this ?

 

I only have an OG right side tin and Paul's look identical to that from the pics me emailed. I have also compared the left side pictures with refs from the samba but have not brought pauls yet so not fitted them.

 

let me know how you get on mate as could do with a set too but it will be a while until i am ready for them

 

yes please

 

No problem... I've just pulled another set from the moulds, so I'll bang another set through

 

Paul, will these fit a '79 2.0 fuel injected engine?

 

Is that a UK or USA FI system??
