TheSamba.com :: View topic - Wanted: Absolute last bits for my '51 Coupe

Wed Feb 28, 2007 2:10 am

Camberg is approaching and the car is coming together gradually. Despite 6 years of collecting virtully every bolt-on part for this car, I am still missing some few "meaningless" tiny bits to make it all complete. These are:

- Glove box lid including handle/lock
- Hinges for one rear pop out window, the two bits that bolt to the body
- Complete sunvisors
- Complete ignition lock

Any sellers / sources out there? Any and all leads appreciated... I really would like these bits to complete before heading for the Autobahn this summer...

Hinges for one rear pop out window,

Correct me if I am wrong but the 51 didnt had pop-out rear windows?
Tony Eugeneo http://www.lockandkeyid.com/ may help you with the ignition switch($$$). good luck with the hexnut sunvisors I have 4 years looking for mine. tom kincaid reproduces the green plastic. 262 249-0577

- Glove box lid including handle/lock , only cabrios came with lock.

Joe does Engines and trannys, Mark can help.

Pop out windows appeared as option in late 50 ... and standard from approx April 1951. Mine is a May 1951 car.

What chassis number is your black beauty? Send me an email at "autokomp@hotmail.com".

He is right,most cars have popouts, I have seen numerous types of Latches

I NEED sunvisors also..Will pay a premium above and beyond what anyone else will pay !
