54 Gearbox support

[ruvwen]

Hi all, I have a september 1954 oval which I am currently restoring. The car is missing its gearbox support, so I have to source one. My question is: should I look for a year specific support, or is it the same one for all pre-65 beetles?
Many thanks!! Rubén

I recently bought one from Wolfsburg West for my 54, mine was bent quite badly (I think they used the center to jack the car up over and over), new one fit perfect.

Hope that helps,

CHeers,
Mike

Many thanks. Can you please paste the link to the specific part? I have been looking for it in the WW webpage but could not find it. Thanks again

Sorry about that, I guess I am getting older, I forgot where I bought it from. I actually got it from CIP. I got mine from Canada but you can order from the US site for international orders. But as I said before it fit perfectly and is said to be OE genuine VW replacement. All I know is it fits and works well.

Here is the link;

Sorry about that but I hope it helps.

Many thanks. It does help. So basically it is the same item for all pre-67 beetles, right?

As far as I know yes they are all the same.

Cheers,
Mike
