| They are ivory plastic - they are not ribbed like the early type. I think they are the same as the '62-'65 escutcheons except some years of those might have been light grey instead, you can check the online parts list to confirm what years had which. The part number should be something like 241-841-XXXA - so look for it in section 8. |

hiya,
in that case was it only the cargo doors that had metal escutchoens and if so where there different sizes of those?
many thanks

My June 61 de Luxe had chrome front door escutcheons.
No reason to believe they were not original, as it was a very complete original bus.
The door escutcheons were slightly deeper than the cargo door escutcheon which was steel, but not polished or chromed like the front door ones.

hi guys here are some pics.
the deeper type looks like its made of aluminium and has the vw logo on it and although its hard too see a part number like 211 872 200/211 637 is also on it too
the steel shallow type one has the part number 221 841 645 B and the vw logo

There's no chrome one shown in the parts list in the cab door listing. I know Raff said his 15-window had a chrome one but I don't think that's normal or correct.
211-872-200 isn't shown in the parts list either, and doesn't follow the same from door code (2XX-837-XXX)
Not sure what that piece you have is, maybe bug or ghia or type-3? |
