Engine tar boards

Post by Seibert66 »

I have 2 original tar panels behind the engine but they are falling apart and the third one is virtually missing. I heard that the reproductions are not as sturdy and high quality as the German ones. Probably Wolfsburg West has better quality than other manufacturers. Since I always try to find original parts first, does anybody know if the style and size of 1966 tar boards is the same as 1965 and 1967?
If so, that would allow me to expand my search and maybe luck out with some original parts...

They are virtually the same as the engine compartment did not change until later.
