Hope to get in contact with other owners of a westfalia SO-44. My bus is from 1965 original from Berlin Germany. Sorry for my English, i am from the Netherlands.
This is one image from my westfalia.

Thanks for the answers already. The links i had already seen (but they are old and is was looking for some more active info, like chris11.
To chriss i can make pictures of the table, but that will need to wait for springtime (bus is now in winter-sleep).
The bus is an original westy so-44 poptop, and it has number 157. |

I've only had my hands on an so69 table once, and it was before I got my so44 - definitely never had them side by side to compare. But that said, my gut feeling is that it will look different but will fit fine.
Wish I could find my table - it's buried so deep in storage that I haven't found it. Sigh. |

looking at the so69 leg that greg has for sale - http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=976831
Looks pretty close. so44 would have the whiteish-grey colored metal parts (at least in my titian red / beige grey), not sure -which- color that is, instead of black. but they still make paint. and the table top that I can see looks like it would be really close to right (same problem with the metal hardware on the bottom, of course) |
