VW Split Beetle Bug Dash Metal Section, Up to 1952

DescriptionIt took longer than anticipated to complete this component due to the numerous intricate details that needed to be considered and accurately reproduced—details you might not even believe: specific supports for the dash pod bolts, glovebox straps, upper brackets for the glovebox straps, column support brackets, wire tabs, and more. Both glovebox straps are included.Over the years, we have all encountered various handmade reproductions of these rare dashboards on the market, but none have been crafted correctly. Achieving the precise curvature in every inch of the dash is impossible without a substantial stamping die. Our Split Dash stamping die weighs over half a ton—it’s a matter of doing it right or not at all!Our dashes can be used to restore your modified original Split Beetle or to transform a later model into a Split Window. We developed our Split Beetle Dashboard using a pristine original counterpart for reference at every stage of the process. Every single inch of our part is a perfect replica of the original.These dashboards are constructed from 1mm thick sheet metal, just as they were from the factory. Say goodbye to the common pitfalls associated with generic aftermarket options, such as thin, wavy metal resulting from improper stamping, and the frustration of poor fitment.
