| Looking for 70-72 deck lid for vents. Condition of the rest of the deck lid is not important, I just need straight vents. |

68 doesn't have vents in it, 71-2 has the same style and size vents as a 58-67 convertible lid. Prior to 71 the only beetles to get vented lids were convertibles. Jim is trying to cool his monster motor with some extra air, a must on pre 67 cars (factory window vents aren't enough for even a 1600cc with dual carbs). A nice factory 58-64 convertible lid is spendy, using 71-2 vents in a sedan lid is less expensive route, if you can weld and do bodywork yourself

Shakey.......
My post was not a negative towards you, it was a joke at Troy because of the explanation...(a good one at that)....but if it was a buggy, he wouldn't have to worry about it.....  ...Just Kiddin Guys......I have to hastle Troy because his kids are all grown and there is no one to do it anymore....

Oh no...no hard feelings or misunderstandings on my part! I wasn't too clear in my first post, so I thought I'd clarify with a pic, just in case
I just picked up a '68 lid (no vents) for my bug, and this one is just sitting around now. |
