That is the name of the part I need, on the WolfsburgWest website. It is the name of the small tray left and right in the engine bay. On my 66 the right one has been badly cut during bad surgery somewhere in its past. Now I want to replace it. But the ones on Wolfsburg west cost an arm and a leg, so does anyone know where to source one?

This is the link and below is a picture of where it fits.

Now that is a cool idea.

The panels from Hookys are well worth the money, I wouldn't settle for anything less. The fit and quality is superior to anything else on the market.

It seems our local pusher can provide this to me, even though it's not in their catalogue. Still a bit expensive so I'll see if I can botch it first.

Otherwise I'll probably order them locally, saves the trouble of having it posted.

But thanks for the tip anyway  Smiley

The narrower tray only applies for early cars. If yours is a late car already (67 on) then they will be no narrower. If you ask for a narrowed tray he makes the early style in the late style jig (8mm narrower).

I'm sure he doesn't do those. I think the apron (it's the bulged one, right?) would still be available from VW, if not from VW Heritage (www.vwheritage.com), and frameheads I think are only available from the usual places.
Hooky only does the parts listed on his website.

As Neil says, he doesn't do the bits you're after Bad Bug. Everyone on the website plus the early narrow side plates and >67 Heater channel closing plates with the correct pressing and curve to them (top notch as per usual).
