can anyone give me the measurement for the front apron oval hole. previous owner welded mine shut. my search yielded no results. I only discovered its supposed to be a 25mm hole but another user stated 27 mm. maybe if you could measure from top of the oval bumper bracket cutout to the center of the hole. Also if possible double check the 25mm / 27mm hole dimension to ensure this is accurate. Lastly is the overrider hole directly inline straight above the oval cutout or is it slightly off?

thank in advance.

I have a ‘59 front clip that has never been hit. The overrider hole is a slight oval, 25.90mm wide x 27.60mm tall. It’s centered to the bumper slot, and the distance between the two holes is about 12.5mm.

Both the driver and passenger side measured the same.

You can make holes with factory template, from VW bulletin
