I can take a picture of them if you like. One has been painted over the other has not, but they have been sitting outside for a long time.

I hope that you're able to get a set of those, Pupjoint. Title: Re: Locking Plates for 66 Bug Post by: DKK - Lisa on January 15, 2010, 06:34:06 am My '66 has them FRED. Sorry, don't have an extra set though. Good Luck on your hunt pupjoint!

Yeah, I suppose that the earlier '66 cars that produced had 'em, Lisa. Which makes sense... many of the VWs that were made had a part or so carry over to the next production year/model.

The Java Green car was so late, it had '67 outside door handles with the passenger side plain (no keyhole). I hope that you're able to get a set of those, Pupjoint. Fred, there were two types of door handle in '66 and another in '67. The early '66 had the same handle as the '65 and earlier, with the square push button, and the later one had the round push button, like the '67 ones. The difference is with the way they mount in the door - '67 handles have one screw, '66 and earlier have two, so the round push button '66 handles have two screw holes, making them really rare as they were only used for around four months. My Bahama blue '66 had those round push button ones, and I don't remember seeing those plates. My race car was also a '66, and had been fitted with pre-'60 handles, and that definately didn't have them. I don't know if that was an early or late '66 originaly though.
