I have been tracking down the little parts for my project and searching for the little missing parts that I can find right now as it is about too cold to do anything productive.

On the Drivers side, I am missing the tube that has the perforations as well as the other parts that exit through into the rear wheel well. I think I have found the parts, but however, before I jump into something that I am going to be sorry for later, I thought I would get the opinion of some of the experts on what parts that I need.

These are the parts that I am looking at.

Any input on the parts that I need is appreciated.

The first set (Super Beetle) should be compatible, Drake. You'll have to cover the perforated portion with thick material like VW did. It's just wrapped and held in place with zip ties. I would ask the seller to measure the overall length as it's a slip fit with approximately ½"-¾" of play.
