Nope. There is no OEM part like that. VW included mounts into the body structure. But I've never heard of any fiberglass body coming with such supports. IMHO, ALL fiberglass buggy bodies should have those braces front and rear included as built into the bodywork. I would wager you that the vast majority of fiberglass buggies do not now and never have had such braces installed.


Meyers Manx kits always came with those brackets, they still do.
