Did the barndoor Engine lid handle continue into the latter splits (pre 61) or are they slightly different?

of course NOT ! The handle is a spezial barndoor item. Much more smaller and full metal.

55-up Buses did not have engine lid handles.
The rear hatch handles are different. |

well i learnt this from key maestro Gabriel at HO09
we bored each other stupid with BD key talk for 30mins or more
brilliant
i think i have this the right way round...
early BD handles (51/52?) have a flat area around the key entrance
late BD handles (53/54/55?) have a recessed area here
three here are Flat (early), far right is Recessed (late)
Recessed handle is ringed
the difference is quite subtle, easpecially as the flat area gets worn on the early handles
keys - early BD should have the 'Volcano' key, late BD should have the 'Lotus Leaf' key
i personally think the 'Cutout VW' key came with replacement handles
Si, its go go go down here;) |

| So the handle is the same, but it's the lock that is different then |

My NOS handle has a VW cutout key. There is no packaging so it very well could be a dealer replacement handle. |

| Early barndoors ignitions took A profile keys, later took P profile. I think the handles are the same, only the keys and locks are differant. |

looks like the wrong lock, therefore the wrong key, etc etc
best to keep your eyes open for a later shell. |
