  6. Shame

    You could be right on s/h ones - these are only a few yrs old and ruined.
  7. Try EBay or one of the vw shows, if you don’t get a pair I’ll have a look for you when I go to the Brighton breeze
  8. Early 3 hole ones were plated brass

    Don't buy anything that says it's show quality ,I fell for that , when I complained that they had rusted in 3 weeks I was told that your only supposed to fit them at shows .I kid you not
  10. The original ones are plastic I managed to find a 2nd hand pair on eBay.
