1960 dash trim question?

[rustic vw]

have a 60 beetle and ordered dash trim from a local vendor and he got me some nice quality stainless but I did not include the small piece to the right of the speedo where the non existent gas guage would reside. anybody know where I can get this piece or find a complete quality set? I want stainless.

I don't believe that piece is available aftermarket being it only used on 1958-60 Beetles.

I ended up having my original trim replated on my 1960. I was not real happy with the aftermarket trim. Replating though, is not cheap.

Yes, 58-60 had solid cast, chrome plated dash trim and is not reproduced. (If you already know that and just prefer the later style, stainless trim, then ignore this post.)

This is what would have originally been in your 60:

And here's the piece you're missing, though this is original:
