There have been many rumours about VW remanufacturing parts for the T3 but as yet nothing's happened.

Fingers crossed.

Hi
I'm up for a set too.

Another question: is it a big job to convert my westy into a syncro ?? if I got a scrap one

Paul,

If it's any use, I was clearing out the garage at the weekend and found the metal parts of the Syncro 16 that my current arches (which I've fitted to the Single Cab) were attached to so it's able to copy how much to cut off.

Let me know if you need them.

Very good news there Christoph

Right - any form of hard rubber is way out of my league and budget at the moment.
A tough impact plastic may be doable but requires a hefty investment.
If VW are reproducing I am inclined to see what they do and how much they cost, this is really not the time to be funding something that cannot recoup its investment so, unless everyone wants to cough up in advance, or do a co-operative deal, I shall await confirmation from VW one way or the other.
Cheers, Paul.

T3 Westy, T3 Syncro (the ScoobyVelle), New Beetle Cab, 2 x Polos - I have too many projects

Any Updates?

Any word from VW?

I just checked again, seems only one company making them now and showing as current.

hi all,

since a couple of weeks i sell high quality fibreglass copies of the 16 inch wheel arches.

The big front ones are strengthened with kevlar for those who want to rivet them on the doors, like originally. But you can off course also mount them on the inside of the door (the body). The six other ones come with stainless steel bolts to mount them on your syncro.

As these are 16 inch ones you can either trim the body of the car, or modify the arches : they are made from fibreglass so any body worker should be able to make them shorter to fit on a 14 inch without cutting.

All you need to do is sand them a bit and paint them in mat black. Best is to use black sikaflex on the corners of the arches since even when you bolt them on there might be small gaps.

Delivery time is normally two weeks but for the moment it's a bit difficult to keep up with the demand.

Price is € 365 plus postage.

The parts are also available seperately for those who have a 16 inch syncro and are missing one or more parts.
