that one is nowhere near $1200, and it's original...

OH, I see, it's the batwings that are crazy expensive.

but why? they don't even look all that difficult to make....

Thats not a VW hornring.

The batwing hornring goes upward of $3,000 to $4,000. They are actually pretty complex.

If you can make one for cheap, go for it. I'll be the first to buy one.

Thats correct John , but a few years ago it was a 130US$ pulley ! :wink:
I hope it will change soon ! Maybe the dollar will raise a litlle after the elections ! It would be better for us also! :wink:
I hate if people have to cancel the deal after seen the exchange rate !
I understand them, but its frustrading, for buyer and seller !
I sold a few years ago a petri pealit for 3000 euro to the USA today it would be 4800 US$ :roll: That would be a crack smoking pice :cry: :cry:

Kind regards,

Guido

I have been selling almost all of my Zarwerks goods to Europe recently, they get a really good deal. On the other hand, the materials I have to buy from Germany have gotten quite expensive.

That pulley is over priced even at $130 IMO, I have had no problem picking them up around the US shows for $40-$50 recently.....

There's an interesting '1953 split' for sale on Volkszone at the moment:

http://www.volkszone.com/VZi/showthread.php?t=460562

Doesn't look like any '53 I've ever seen before!

Beware these Bosch headlight rings with adjusters at 12 and 3. Won´t fit any VW sedan. As they do not have VW logos and are with the fixed adjuster screws I believe they are for MB 319 truck right side only.

Yes, the VW rings have adjusters at 12 and 9 o'clock, not 12 and 3 o'clock.

Nice.... No year given.. cause its Totally FAKE. Man that's three fake ass splits in 2 weeks... There's a rash of them!!

Not even a real split section. Its just a bar welded between in an oval. Shape is all off and its not even centered!

I guess all the pits in glass are free.

I have seen that guy's headlight ads, he's always way high. But who knows, maybe someone somewhere is paying those prices....

Mon Jun 30, 2008 10:36 am

Those ain't pits, they're "patina" :wink:
