'T66 Type 2 ("Microbus") had the same hubcap as -thru '65 Ghia, but its wheels were 14" diameter and I think 5.0" wide. Type 2 did not go to the '68 Beetle flat hubcap until the '71 model year, when the wheel was changed to a small-hole diameter 5 bolt and 14". |

Bus wheels were 15 inch up to 1964, there was a mid year change to 14s at that point. _________________ Go Reds! Smash state!

Not in the ‘71 on “small-hole” (5x112). These were only available in 14” unless there was some oddball European/South American package. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.
GOFUNDYOURSELF, quit asking everyone to do it for you!
An air cooled VW will make you a hoarder.
Do something, anything, to your project every day, and you will eventually complete it. |
