Are this the same as the ones on early buses or the ghia's

It's difficult to examine them from just the pics. The Type 1 vs Type 2s are almost indistinguishable from one another as it is without holding them in your hand. The Type 2s are just slightly smaller in size.

Thanks, so what are the ones in my photos for. The triangle is in a total different location........

Those look like early Ghia ones, they look like they're chromed? 55 to 58 (I think) Ghias had chromed bullet housings with the drains in the locations you have there, at least my 58 and early 59 did.

Are the repop bullet housing created equal to the original bullet housing or has anyone else found them a little off? I bought a couple orange repops, and there seems to a problem mounting them on the fenders and matching up to the contour of the OG fenders, inclusive to the gasket not turning out, but on the contrary of portion turning inward..anyone else ? having any difficuty?

I have trouble getting new gaskets to fit my original fenders with original bases, to the point where I'm still using cracked old gaskets.

that is 2 of us...when they take the time to form, mold, cast,or whatever they do to produce/reproduce these things...why on earth do they they settle for anything less than damn near perfect.....
I find the reproduced bullets have high spots on them as well... :roll:
