Time for someone to start producing anti-theft bolts for fenders. Even for the rusty ones (795 USD)

Det ska det finnas, men frågan är om det är en splittyp på skärmen?
Yes, it has a metal tube... but is it a split type of fender?
The metal tube cable conduit I think is present on all split and oval wings, though only the ones from 1954 and earlier i think has the arch for 16" wheel rims...
It is the right wing, and seem to have a non split horn grille and an opening behind the grille. Could that indicate the year / model? I thought there was no opening on early wings?
I guess I'll have to bring the fender home to be sure what I've bought...

Hi Lee, you say you found a set of original std split front fenders. Congrats! Not easy. How ever I´d start by studying the wheel opening. Confirming the originality of deluxe fenders is easy. If they have the original holes for the round horn grills you are safe. But stds might be a but trickier. I´d assume they were without horn grill openings way beyond splits yet had the metal cable conduits. Here´s a pic of the difference in the measurements. Left is a Split / Oval fender. Right a metal cable conduit fender that is probably 58 or 59. The refrence is the tip of the molding - you have to figure out how to find that same point from your std.

This old thread never looses its importance. Did "we" ever define exactly when this pictured change occured? When one went from "low edge" to "high edge"...the most significant change on Beetle fenders ever... |

BUMP.....
So is any one currently reproducing these early split/oval fenders?
The originals are hard to find....

thanks guys! 
and yes, the front fenders by Memminger are very expensive indeed....  and it's not even steel like the original.
