Rolf Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Hey Willie, check this out in advance, but I have been told that the generic fender welt used on early Volkswagens, is exactly the same, sold in bulk, and is incredibly cheap, check it out of course, and let us know, Rolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyDale Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Dear Willie,My choice for welting is Roy Nacewicz in Michigan.Correct size made out of paper twine covered with paintable pyroxilin cloth,just like original.diz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith L. Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Rolf, thanks for the tip. Just in time, I was going to buy some at the large vintage Ford site when I read your post. Went to a vintage VW site got a brand name then to J.C. Whitney. Don't know the size they sell but it looks pretty good. Four colors. Empi Fender Beading, 25 ft. for $6.95. I know its not for the purist, but hey, my car will never be in the winners circle, but it will look good from 10 feet away.Make that 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Yes Kieth, that is what my friend out here did with his '39, and he swears it is identical after it is installed, but I think it is solid, and a trifle shinier than the original, right guys?? But I am with you, and that is what I am going to use in my '41 after it is painted. Trouble is, 25 ft is fine for the little fenders on a bug, but a trifle short for a LZ, well maybe you can fudge the skirt welting with it too, even though it is a skosh larger actually, and pretty expensive, Ms Terhune, who advertises in The Way Of The Zephyr sells that stuff, good luck, Rolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted February 3, 2004 Author Share Posted February 3, 2004 O.K. Here's the 411. (INFO) I went to the VW parts counterand the welting is made of plastic. I found that The "Mid Fifty F-100 Parts" (Name of company.)1-800-252-1956 has the welting in leather looking covering the rubber hose inside. I have a sample and it's more Lincoln looking. (Looking good) :It cost about $25.00 for 20 foot.After the hard work of removing the fenders & repairing the bodyand a new paint job, what a few more dollars to make it last???
