Please take the time to take the poll.
Also, if you want, list what you have and what you like or dislike. Posting pix is always a plus.
Please let's keep the chit-chat to a min.
Thanks,
Spanish Flea

Yeah, sorry about that, I should have added that. But my main focus was on the repop's.
If a mod can add that to the poll that would be great. it won't let me.

| I've owned a set of Izzy's and started to install them on my westy but never completed so I took them out and sold them. Shortly after regreting the sale I bought a set of CE's which have sat on the floor in my office for 3 or 4 yrs now. I keep saying (like I have every winter) they will be installed. We'll see. Sorry can't place a vote since I have yet to experience safari's on a bus. |

Izzy's and they are really nice, not to mention he is a nice guy.
I heard that the CEs are not made with safety glass  . Correct me if I am wrong.

Original is the only way IMO.
Everything else is just.......well.........a repop.

I've got a set of Izzy's on my '55 Kombi and I have to say that they are pretty nice. I just didn't want to drop huge money into a set of originals and figured they fit the bill rather nicely and relatively affordably by comparison. However, I agree that there really is no substitute for original parts.

Got Wolfgang safari's but want to switch to
Izzy's seals. When I get my rear safari I want it to
match the fronts, so that's why I went with Wolfgang.
Spanish Flea, thanks for the help with the cv joints!

A friend got the izzy seals at BB because
his wolfgang seals were horriably leaking.
Izzy's seals are MUCH nicer than the
wolfgang seals IMHO. Just better quality
