Upper inner front repair panel - help please.....

[bobster144]

Dear all,

having trawled the extensive online vw parts suppliers, I've drawn a blank.

My 1968 westy is sadly in need of an upper inner front repair and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas, or one tucked away somewhere?

any help gratefully received.

As in on the inside of the windscreen, or by your feet?

The bit by your feet that sits on top of the lower inner valance and joins to the leading edge of the cab floor.

My metalwork skills are severely limited. :?

I think the part is youre referring to is called a kick panel.

Sold out I know, but I'd have thought every one would sell them.

... Me too. Seems like the first place water would collect once the screen seal goes. Spoke to a few people who've said the repair panel is no longer produced. Hope they're wrong??

Do you mean the bit in front of the floor that you see above floor level and has the bracket to hold the water reservoir? I have an nos one (not for sale at this time) but I know someone with one for sale. Let me know if you are interested, if that us the correct part

Thanks hogseye. That is the one.

Think we're sorted as there wasn't too much rot in the original and a couple of small patches have been made up. Not seen it yet but have been assured that all is well.

Thanks anyway
