Thanks. The paint / interior brochures on the Samba Tech link don’t cover 1960 wheel colors. What is the source info for this data? Cause I swear I’ve seen a reference to ‘parchment white’, but I’ll have to search harder.

 That issue is 1956. I don’t see one for 1960. |

Guess my direct link to the page wasn't helpful... 
(Supplement 5, as of August 1959, page 2)

I didn’t read past your “+1” comment, as people say that to follow a thread.
Thank you for the info. |

| Unfortunately I am in the same position with my '61 Built in Dec '60 Vin #3519881. Snapped the turn signal handle in half this summer. Looks like I will have to temporarily repair with some steel rod and JB weld till new ones come back in stock |

Many questions regarding rubber floor mats....
According to the VW Genuine Parts book, for (113, 117) models from Aug '59:
the floor mats are listed as '405 (T109) Anthracite' and '406 (T110) Silver Grey'. What areas of the floor are those two different parts specifically for?
Also, if I understand the current state of aftermarket mats, there is only black and grey avail? Or is there a source for 'Anthracite' or 'Silver Grey'?
Anthracite is darker grey than silver? Does anyone have those color mats?
Thanks!

Matching stock Arm Rest colors to aftermarket supplier:
TMI has a fantastic variety of arm rests. Has anyone had success in matching them to their stock color? (Again, I'm referencing the VW Genuine Parts book for Aug 59 onward.)
Parts book mentions '776 Stone Beige', and '777 Steel Grey'.
Maybe TMI's #16 'Grey' can stand in for 'Steel Grey',
but stuck on what would be ok for 'Stone Beige':
- #15 'Off White'?
- #3625 'Silver Platinum Vintage Vinyl'?
It's a crap shoot.

I have a quick question regarding the hood badge (VW logo). When I bought my '61 it was missing the hood badge so I picked up a reproduction badge and some clips, recently I purchased an NOS badge but unfortunately no clips, the reproduction ones I have don't fit (both from an old UK company and Wolfsburg West) and i'm not sure what the real ones look like and if anywhere sells them, either NOS or repro, as long as they fit! If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great!
Thanks

It depends on the built date of your car. Originally, the model year 1961 started with the same badge from the oval era with 4 tabs without clips. During the model year they switched to 3 clip badge, that still had the same look as before. In 1962 they switched to also a 3 clip badge but with a redesigned look. I don't know what you have there and I am unsure, if the last two 3-clip badges share the same hole pattern:

Cool, it's a 61. 
The hood emblem changed during 1961. What I've dubbed the "1962 hood" started during 1961. I call it that because it was the only hood used for model year 62, but it started a few months before that and lasted a couple of months after. Jan 2nd 1961 is when they changed from 4 tabs to three pins. And October 62 is when the emblem got slightly larger and the mounting area on the hood was "punched up"

Good point! Mine is May ‘61 so it’s the early 3 pin.

you need a one year only...

it is the right one, you see all clips are broken off. But that is how it looks.
It seems there are no repros on the market. |
