where is the hazard switch positioned on a '67? looked at a few at the weekend and some have them just under the headlight switch and others had it by the ashtray.
p.s. anyone seen a '67 only cigarette lighter?picked a nos one up at EBI, i'll post a pic later
Im not sure who asked about this above, but Euro spec 67s did not come with the emergency flasher switch.
I looked and looked for a 67 only lighter and couldn't find one........................ so I made my own. How do ya like it?

The European Beetle VW1300 had a 1300 Single Port,Euro Bumpers,5 Lug Wheels,Lock Steering with Ing Key on the Colum, Early Headlights,
Door Handle on Passenger Side had no Key Hole
.
Regarding the passenger door handle... Did all euro spec 67s have no key hole on the passenger door handle? I always thought it was just on the standard models, ie: no chrome models. Would a deluxe model (chrome trim & such) Euro 67 have a passenger key hole???

Dunno about Euro spec '67 cars, but my late model '66 Euro spec Beetle wasn't a Standard and it had that blank round button handle on the passenger side. That car was all original when I got it. Even down to the engine, which had 111,000 miles. When I took the engine apart, every gasket had the VW logo. So I feel positive that no one changed my door handles or anything else on that car.

As far as I know, no pre-'68 Beetle had a key-locking passenger door handle.

In the USA there was one 1967 Bug - and it was as Shubee specified earlier in this thread
.
Just to confuse you a little more:
Technically speaking there was Two models of the USA 67 . The early and late model. The fun part is how to defines them correctly. The most obvious is the Vin numbers however the other items such examples as front seats, sun visor clips, assist straps, SB-12 headlight rings, rear bumpers over riders, door handles. 3 style available. (early,mid,late) door lock knobs. gets a little trickery.
My '67 is 'early' it was built at the start of August '66 - I've got the exact details of the day it was built at home somewhere.
From memory, has the chassis number 117 007837.
I know it always freaks the inspector out when I take it for the annual test that I know the chassis number.
When the original owner bought it he took it back to the dealership and had them fit a matched locking passenger door handle. The reason was that he had parked it while he went shopping and when he came back a car had parked really close alongside the driver's side and he couldn't get in the '67 until the driver of the car came back two and a half hours later. I'd have loved to have heard what he said to that guy!

67 is a strange year, I know there is a 67 only starter motor which is 12v for a 6v ring gear
The European 6v 1500 Beetle had a 12v-style 130-tooth flywheel, which meant a 6v starter with 12v-style pinion gear.
In my copy of factory records, there is the following statement: "A few six-volt VW 1300 models made it to the US market. Some VW 1500s (type 1) also came in with six-volt electrical systems. These cars continued to carry the old-style front fenders and headlamps".
There are literally hundreds of new features listed in these records for the ’67 model year. But they also make clear that there are no hard and fast rules as the factory regularly used whatever parts were available to hand.

I think he was referring to Euro spec cars. My '67 (117117279) had a locker on there, too.
