|
|
I have a 74 Super Beetle and the hood hinges got badly damaged before I owned him. JBugs doesn't offer hinges for the Super, only the standard. Plus there's a huge price difference on the ones I can find from less reputable sellers.
Can I use these: https://www.jbugs.com/product/111823301C.html?utm_...YcQAvD_BwE
If not, suggestions please where I can get original or replacement hinges? |

I got a set at the local pick-n-pull junkyard. Worth checking out.
Check local Facebook VW groups.

... no you cannot. They are completely different.
This is for SuperBeetles
