|
|
Hi all,
I am a newby here. Unfortunately the workshop that was restoring my 181 went bust and all the parts had to be moved by box to a new workshop. The new guys are slowing working on piecing the car back together, but they have come across (and painted) a number of parts where we can't find a home for them.
Of the parts pictured we have identified the spare wheel brace, the door hinges, hood/screen clamps. The remainder of the parts are a mystery. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Suggestion, why don't you take a picture of just those parts that you haven't id'd. One picture would be fine, that way if people id something for you they can say top row third from left is _______. _________________ Supposed to be 77käfer, but there are no umlauts on an american keyboard

Ok, I'll try. The square rubber parts go in the lower windscreen latch as a cushion for the windscreen . The "L" shaped metal parts are the brackets for the lower gun mounts, they would have been mounted on inside rocker and maybe the rear seat cross brace. Then you have either 2 shovel mounts or an ax mount and 1 shovel mount. |

The big piece with the hole in the middle (upper center) is the spare tire hold down clamp |

Deckard, you identified 2 of the 3 things that the poster said they knew in his original post. _________________ Supposed to be 77käfer, but there are no umlauts on an american keyboard

It's always good to have reassurances, right? |
