I am thinking of putting one of these "eyebrow" pieces on my Christmas List. Who carries them in the USA? Does anyone have any information on the part? |

I have them on a few vans.
Ordered them from the UK.
I don't know of any US suppliers. |

I had one of those on my 91 when we lived in Germany.
Had it installed for a couple of weeks when, while attending a VW show in Mannheim, someone apparently decided he or she also liked it, and needed it more than me, as it was removed when I returned to the van after the show _________________ And then there were two...downsized to 83 Doka &

I had bought a couple myself a few years back. I just tried earlier this week to order a couple more but my old source is no longer selling parts. His health has declined. I would like to see a picture of one installed on a van that has the SA rounds installed. _________________ Bill M

Unfortunately, I scanned through http://www.brickwerks.co.uk/ and could not find one...
Any other ideas? |

Nope.
I was going to have them reproduced but have lost interest. |

That's who I bought mine from. Helmut and his wife and kids are great people. They were at most of the VW bus camping events in Germany.
He will ship most items to the States. The only drawback of course is shipping costs for odd sized items. _________________ And then there were two...downsized to 83 Doka &

A version for the 7" round assures me that these will...

Negative. You must have a third party somewhere in Europe to get parts from those guys. No shipments to litigious societies. _________________ '86 Syncro CHC Top AAZ Turbodiesel
