Volks, I have just replaced the Brazilian front hood on my 1970 with a beautiful, straight 1972 German standard hood. I stripped it, then had it painted. It actually fits. But now my VW emblem’s pins will not fit into the hood holes. On the Brazilian hood, there were three little vinyl or polyethylene plastic sleeves (Tüllen) that the pins fit into.
The “new” (’72) hood has smaller holes (appx 3 mm) that are slightly more closely spaced (their radius is about 1 mm smaller) that hose of the emblem (which is a 113 852 601 B). The location is flat, not raised; does that suggest it was an aftermarket hood? Is there a different VW emblem I should be hunting? I hate to start carving and drilling on a newly-painted hood.
