Beetle headlight part

[GeoBrewer71]

Hi,

I'm restoring my headlight assemblies and came up with a missing part when I took my initial inventory. Wolfsburg West doesn't sell it, but it does show it in their headlight diagram. I've circled it in red. Does anyone know where I can get one of these? I'm not sure exactly what it's called other than headlight adjusting screw bracket.

Thanks for any help.
Jason

Those little tabs aren't available as separate items. Your best bet is to buy a used headlight ring that comes with them. There's some prospects here in the classifieds:

There's a couple of rings in this bunch that appear to have what you need ↓

Just cut one from the correct sized sheet metal and make your own!

Fantastic, thanks, guys. I was able to contact a seller and got two of them for $5. Great idea.

Just some info for he next person looking for these tabs you can get a repair kit from CIP1 with them. https://www2.cip1.com/headlights-assemblies/

They are a pretty decent quality. Some of the other parts in the kit are not.
