Vw Variant 412L spare parts.

Post by edc1967 » 4th July 2012 - 2:14pm

Hey.
I am new to the forum and just bought a 412l Variant 1974, I would like to know where to buy parts for this vehicle, such as, lights, shocks, etc..
Where I can buy the front shocks, or the equivalent of another car ....
I'm from Chile.
regards

Front shocks and most other suspension parts are no longer available, there are alternatives if you don't mind some fabrication. I'm currently running Audi 80 front shocks with a 6" extension to make them fit. If you search the shoptalkforums you can find lots of detailed technical data there.

As for other parts, standard 5 3/4" lights will fit the front and this will enable you to upgrade to H4 bulbs. Panels you will have to source second hand much the same as interior trim and glass.

Other than a lack of parts they are great cars. Good luck with it
