A set of split beetle semaphore pockets. This is the alternative wide version which accepts sedan semaphores.
Cabriolet only semaphores (with metal surroundings) need the other narrower pocket version.
Both pockets need special bolt with M4 threads, it was made to get better sideways adjustability
Look the wiring hole collar.

I'd have to check, but I think my '51 is missing that panel, and as GTV says above, it'd be a really useful feature on a hotter car - I've got to adjust the clutch on my '68 this weekend and I've been putting it off for days...
Off topic - GTV - is that you Zach G? |
I make a nice access, in all my type-ones, except the splits, that have them - a great place to adjust a clutch from - why that little opening, stock size? -
from this access, lotza' work can be accomplished... is the access VW forgot to include -
… here's my old '63.
