the nostrils and mouth are glove box related. the mouth is half of the glovebox arm and the nostrils screw under the dash into the "mouth " bracket .

From out of a 1967 Ghia.
This bolts up, accessible from the storage area under the package tray, and stick out into the engine compartment from the firewall.
The T handle turns all the way out and looks like a jet at the screwed in side. And then the hose leads to I don't know what.

Altitude adjuster?

It doesn't look exactly like the ones referenced in theses threads:

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=594900&highlight=altitude+adjuster

... but perhaps they varied by year?

I think that is the regulator for a gas heater that would be installed under the rear seat area.

There was in fact, a gas heater installed under the rear seat!
I've since removed it as well. I don't think I'm going to use these pieces.
So they go together then? Makes sense.

Yep, definitely gas heater related. I took one out of my 69...not to be reinstalled later.

Found these at a swapmeet this weekend and bought them to get them to someone who needs them. Any help in what year these belong to?
They are both Huf. #1 is a solid handle, It is labled "R" right side, 1430405452 part #, has 5584 near part #, also has 11K067 on it. Guessing one is a key number?

#2 has the same 5584 in the "hollow" handle where it says Huf, has S6157 on the chrome that slides into the door.

Also, are these grab handles correct for all lowlights and just lowlights?
Bolt pattern looks a little long for 60's dash.

I suggest that is SG157 and is the code for the key fitting this lock assuming the original barrel is in there.

for LHS
Part # 141 837 205 is up to '62
Part # 141 837 205 A is up to '63 to '66
Part # 141 837 205 B is '68 to '69
Part # 141 837 205 C is '67
Part # 141 837 205 D is '70 to '71
Part # 141 837 205 E is from '72 and up

Similarly for RHS 141 837 206 and so on.

You might need to look more closely at your part numbers. what you report seems to not match what's in my parts book.

Nicholas.

I knew you would be on this Nicholas, thanks. The stamping on the part # is very clear ( im going to try to photograph it) #1430405452. I samba googled and came up with nothing.
The grab handle is lowlight only? all years LL?
Thanks

Clear enough.
I've got 9 digit part numbers and a 10 digit part number is shown. Buffer overflow error. Does not compute. Danger Will Robinson. Brrrr Fzzzt Pop.

Just looking at the photos, those outer door handles are 63-66 style, maybe 67 too?

Yes, the dash handle is from the low light era, but I also had a '60 ghia with that one, but my '63 and later ghias had the black plastic handle. Haven't had a 61 or 62, but I think they were the later style also. 1960 was a bit of a transition year.

It's the size of a tow hook. Chromed. Has part # KL 1970 with a VW logo stamped next to it. Can't figure out where it would bolt on.

It looks to be the receiver for the lobster claw seat belts. Not positive though.
