What are the dimensions of a Split window Beetle hood? Are they smaller than a later 53 -60 hood. Or are the only differences the four tab and the three bolt holes? Does anyone know what the differences are and the years the changes were made? Confused

Do a search, I've seen extensive topics on that.

I have looked and everything looks pretty vague.

IMHO the hoods are the same size, it is just the badge mounting, hinge mounting and reinforcement a the windscreen end that changed over time...
