1966 beetle doors ?

Post by Aircooledbenny »

Does anyone know the correct year dimension for these doors, the changes from 65 and what I have to look for when buying NOS 66 doors?

A guy sent me these pics of a pair of 66 doors, apparently 66 anyway.

However he sent me the dimensions of the door handle dip bit.

It definately is different to my 66. I am pretty much certain my doors are original .

The door striker location would be a better indication of what they fit. '67 and later use an entirely different striker.
