Any habile optician can edge a mirror with a diamond wheel. You just have to bring him a mirror with the right thickness. I can do it Wink

Nice cars! Very Happy

As far i can see your "new" split is a late split? August or September?

Can you post a picture front inside front hood?


Regards

Maybe Wink i saw the engine picture and was curious because the fan shroud doesnt seem to be the seamed fan shroud, but i have to say aswell the picture is far and is not possible to see it very well.

And I have fixed 4 fuelpumps from a 50,51,52,53 and I'm going to fit them with modern membrane.
The old ones don't like all the ethanol in the "new" petrol.

The condition is pretty amazing, do you think older restoration or original? Either way, great find and nice looking bug.
