|
|
Exactly what it says ...... I’m interested whether the bar changed at all over the years? My Barndoor has a (repro?) bar with fairly flat ends, as opposed to this genuine ‘58 bar which has very rounded ends. Is the repro correct or should it look the same as the ‘58?
Many thanks for any help!!

Ben looking at the pics in thread above
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=698736
‘All‘ Barndoor are the deep bulbous ends. Rikkis definitely is.
So was my 51. _________________ 1951 Samba 20-017894

Ah, nice one Rob, thanks! Looks like I should have read my other thread for the photos holding the answer. I’ll blame tiredness. It was the early hours of the morning |

Next question - are the lengths the same?
55-66 Luggage Bars are supposedly 1367mm (53 13/16").
1967 Luggage bars are shorter.
Anyone have a length for a Barndoor Deluxe Luggage Bar?

Its the deluxe luggage rails no one makes a good repo of. Only splitpartsunlimited and they are much to thick.
If you find a bulbous end supplier can you share? I have the uprights and we know the bar is easy to get. Just need the ends. _________________ 1951 Samba 20-017894

Hey Chris .... who’s the guy from Hungary? Is that where my bar likely originated from?
Rob. Of course dude. I’m in the same boat and need some of the bars. Btw .... I can’t imagine you’ll be buying much from splitpartsunlimited in the near future |

It's hard to measure alone and I measured it over the mounting brackets but
My '55 Deluxe rear luggage bar is 53.75" which gives me 1365.25mm _________________ How to Post Photos

Or excluding caps? _________________ -StockRocks- |

Excluding.
I went and measured the total length with caps and it's approx. 54.25"
I'm measuring with it installed so it was across all tops of the uprights too but I don't think that made much of a difference.
My bar has the more rounded ends seen above, they are not flat. _________________ How to Post Photos
