 |
|
Hi,
My original trims are mostly beaten-up, so I decided to replace them. Unfortunately those stainless WW repops are not made to original spec...
Expensive here in Europe, too...
I found a guy who custom made an extruded aluminium profile which matches better...
I‘m missing three trims and need the correct lengths (metric pls) for those:
1. Upper long trim for drivers side in passenger compartment (pos. 10)
2. (and this will be pretty hard to figure out) upper trim for sliding door (not pictured)
3. the short lower trim on rear side panel passenger side (pos. 13)
As I recall it, the 67 deluxe didn‘t have this last mentioned trim. But I think it should be there. It looks somehow incomplete without the trim.
Help is highly appreciated

Yes, the innie vent 63 through 67 microbuses did not use the lower trim on the panel behind cargo door.

Not the best pic of the trim area but my late '63 for "proof":

Thanks!
As I said looks incomplete, although it’s barely visible...
How about the lengths I had been asking for?
Anybody?
„Guten Rutsch!“ for all of you! As we say it. It’ll be a better one for sure! |

I’m not sure why VW dropped that short piece of trim on the later buses. The interior panels have the holes in place to accept it but never had the trim.
I made a tool 3 years ago to cut and reshape the WW trim for a sliding door interior Clara made.
We’ve done several upholstered Doublecab interiors as well and I have made trim for those.
We are not selling trim outright, only installed on the panel sets Clara offers. Feel free to copy the tool I made if you want to DIY. |

Thanks for that! Pretty cool tool...
My approach is a bit different. The trims are punched to the desired length including the rounded shape and then polished. See:
The top one is the repop, lower OG. Second picture shows it from the back. You can insert those special screws which is much more convenient attaching the trims to the panels...
I just need the correct lenghts. Can you help? |

Could you take some measurements for me pls, when you have access to the bus again? I‘m missing the upper trim...
Thanks! |
