This head light ring came with a bunch of Ghia parts. Doesn't fit my 71 for sure. Anyone know what this might go to? Appears to be stainless. There is no mounting holes or clamps.

I was crawling under the rear of my Ghia, and I noticed these bolts sticking out of the body. They are located above the shock towers near those body cut outs. I can't remember what these are used for, can anyone identify?
Are they for some kind of cross supports? Located on both sides.

Awesome, thanks Darrel, I thought those were only on early models, not later like mine.

Years ago this ignition cover was pried off in a effort to unlock the steering wheel and I am looking for a replacement. Any idea if there are reproductions out there or am I just going to have to find a used one?
1974 Ghia....

Have a few of these amongst my VW bolts. Any clue what they might go to?
Thanks

The black nut is 1.1" (27.9mm) in length with a 13mm head bolt.

Where does this go? I found it under the passenger seat frame, but can’t see where it might live.

| Under the hood (front) of my '69 Ghia there is a cloth covered rubber tube that emerges from the right fender near the hood hinge, near but about an inch or two rearward of the fuel filler door. This runs around to the left side of the car and connects to ... nothing. Nearby, there is a little nipple at the top of the left side of the fuel tank that also is open to the air. Sizes match, I'm assuming this is a tank vent and they should be connected? |

Valve adjustment screws.

I don't know what this part is. It either came off my '69 or '72 Ghia vert. Thanks. |

What is this lever? It doesn’t seem to be hooked up to anything.

That opens up your heater vent along the floor rails next to the seat.

Ah, thanks! In this case the best you could say is it used to do that.
