Thanks for your input,
Woudl you happen to have pics of your 59 anywhere on the www?? Would like
to see what kind it is, shape and all. The one I saw was clearly made for post
68 Deluxe bugs having the cutout for the air box. I dont think it would fit the
pre 60 trunk having the domed fuel tank.
The idea of fabricating our own seems good. Especially as I can use the
original as a template for the replicas.
Best regards,
AsadKarachi, Pakistan.
