| Who sells the largest diameter fender beading? I just picked up four rolls from a local shop near me and the beading itself is probably more than half the diameter of the stuff that is on my bug now. I need to replace because some of the beading is cracked right down to the bead and is starting to flap in the breeze. I think the new ones I got today are from WCM. |

I would recommend that you try to locate some NOS fender beading. I tried the crappy aftermarket stuff and was very disappointed. Then, I located some OEM beading from Danny Zapeda in San Bernardino...he regularly advertises in the classified on this website. This beading cleaned up perfectly and really brought my '68 back to it's former glory. This is the largest photo I can find, so you might be able to gauge the diameter:
