I had longer ones supplied with my 1962...
Whether fitted or supplied...
Off to check. ..
Fitted..
They are still about NOS..
I bought a pair of Huf aftermarket replacements boxed...with arms from Fast Freddie. The box is marked as fitting 1965....
When you look at the back there are two holding screws with a VW logo in a roundel in between them on the back.
I bought one second hand body from Chris at vwemporium and one from the begian trader at dubfreeze next to Autocraft and Grsham from fbi and Fast Freddie. .
Chris at VWEMPORIUM was selling some NOS...
