Name that part.....

Post by Creationblue » 10th October 2013 - 7:55pm

I bought a job lot of bits from a guy who saw the square at the garage and said he had one and had a few spares.

So here are a few bits that I need help idendifying:

This seal is quite long and I have two

Then there is this one, it's about a metre long

These I'm guessing is from a type4

Top photo is similar to a Type 3 front luggage seal, but it doesn't look identical. Usually VW seals have moulded parts joined to the extrusions - corners on the tailgate and thickened areas. If they are simple extrusions, they are probably not genuine VW, but are generic seals that the guy got, thinking they would do the job.

The lenses are Type 3 from '70. Check the screw area - sometimes the support breaks off.

The brake and tail light looks as if it may come from a trailer.

Ok so the seal in the top two pics are bonnet and rear hatch seals but I have no idea where the one in the 3rd pic goes, thinking maybe it's an engine seal?

I don't reckon any of them are for Type 3. You might make them work. I'll try to dig out photos of the sections to check.

The third one might work for the seal that goes on the air intake box to stop the wing abrading on it, but it looks broader than standard.
