Cheers folks. Yeah I was never happy with that old rear tray with the strange gap! I’ll give the narrower breast plate a go.
Rear tinware query ‘74 bug
This is driving me nuts. ‘74 Beetle 1600 twin port and will have twin Weber 34 ICT’s and J tubes so I need to change the rear tinware over the exhaust for the type with no holes. It has the “wider” breast plate.
Problem is I can’t find anywhere the right shape rear tinware, they all seem to be moulded for the narrow breast plate?
This is the one I bought but it just doesn’t fit:
![Light Helmet Fender Gas Bumper]()
![Hood Luggage and bags Bag Motor vehicle Gas]()
The breast plate:
![Automotive tire Motor vehicle Automotive design Tread Wheel]()
![Automotive tire Bumper Automotive exterior Gas Automotive wheel system]()
And comparison with the one that came off which also wasn’t a sound fit:
![Wood Gesture Thigh Font Brick]()
![Gas Auto part Automotive tire Metal Wood]()
Question then, I am wasting my time trying to get the right rear tin? Any issue if I switch the breast plate for the narrower one which should fit the replacement rear tin I already have?
cheers
