Aren't they the polished aluminum VW Beetle side bits? You may have to cut them down and bend the cut end a bit. (Different years have different widths).
If you're referring to Vintage Speedsters in CA, Greg is on vacation, but usually very responsive to inquiries. If you're referring to the Vintage in AZ, they never returned an email or a voice message. Don't waste your time.
Talk to Greg or Carey at SE.
Thanks dearl476 for the heads up on the AZ loc. Greg in CA is tops, I bought items from him and i'm very happy with his service.
WOLFGANG, You are right i've been doing my research the type 1 68-77ish are the ones to be used. I'm picking a set up on e-bay $35 and retro fitting it myself which will be no problem to do. Thanks you !
Not a stupid question al all. What a great thing to know! I've always admired those but filed them away in the "I dunno WTF those cost" so I'll wait. May be a winter project.
Never knew they were called door spears either. The day is off to a great start!
Bea careful on the set you select , some are so thin that the pressure of pushing the onto the nylon clips will leave a dent . If, you can get the stainless set you are way better off for the money.

Just remember:
Greg's business is called Vintage Motorcars. Vintage Speedsters moved to Arizona. Carey at Special Edition may also have the correct bits as well.
Just to be crystal clear:
Vintagespyders.com is Vintage Motorcars of California, Inc. and is Greg Leach's company in Hawaiian Gardens CA. Makers of Spyders, Speedsters, and pre-A coupes.
Vintagespeedsters.com is Vintage Speedsters Inc. of Scottsdale AZ and they make Speedsters. "Established 1988" on company website. If only new customers knew the ACTUAL history. That's funny!
Disclaimer: I am on my second Spyder from Greg Leach and company.
I appreciate the valuable information and tips guys, it will help others and l get through this topic .
Hoping those are the old ones? Looks like they ran into too many Kakui nuts.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 🤙🏽
