The Split Screen Van Club

Aluminium ones are tight as f... They’re a different profile and not as flexible as steel, especially once painted. I’m reliably informed that providing you get your rubber on first and apply a lot of lube you’ll eventually manage to squeeze it into the slot, although I’ve yet to manage mine. Try wr...

Aha, of course there are more variations than I first thought, it wouldn’t be splitscreen restoration otherwise

This is what mine looked like. My shroud is aftermarket but the flaps and linkage bar are original. The doghouse shroud has three linkage bars as in my photo - two shorter ones for the two sets of flaps and one long one to link those two.

Great to hear you kept it and looking forward to seeing you back in action

These are great, thanks

UK RHD 62 should have orange and red with chrome trim. US 62 had all red lenses, with chrome trim I think. South African 62? Not sure but for UK MOT you should have orange and red. Later on the same lights were used on bays and at some point stopped having the chrome trim. But these are a different ...

My personal tips from when I did mine, maybe useful maybe not... Make sure you have your fuse box the right way up and that you’ve understood how that relates to the diagram - the VW diagram is opposite way up to how you think it’s going to be when you’re looking at it. You can tell if you’ve got it...
