Door piller grab handles

Anyone know what style of grab handle a Sept 1960 bug should have? I have a cloth headliner.

Cheers

Andy

Plastic/vinyl grab handles uses a plastic coat hook. If you have the Aluminum coat hooks, you should have cloth grab handles

Just FYI, the ones at BFI are crappy. I don't know if Wolfsburg Wests are better, but I'd give em a try.

Bill,

Wouldn't a Sept 60 actually be a 1961 model??? Or is Sept the last month of the production year??? (ie. Oct 60 would be the first month of 61)

Straighten me out again Bill!

Those handles I listed in the ad are originals from a 61. Even if Andy is not interested in the handles, the pictures should give an idea of what your looking for.

That's what I was thinking. He shouldn't be looking for 60 handles, he should be looking for 61 handles. (Which is why he needs mine I have listed in the classifieds Very Happy

)

I have a Euro 60 and haven't paid particualr attention to the handles. When I get home tonight, I will compare the two and see what the differences are.

I know the 61 handles I have listed do not have aluminum hooks, they are the same vinyl as what the straps are made of. (Which actually I think they are made of some kind of metal and just covered with the vinyl).

God I love this stuff Very Happy

Chris......
