if you can't find one, a reasonable replica could be made using a 1302 vented decklid and an ordinary solid 6V lid. I've done it in the past and it turned out OK. It went to a chap in Kerry then wasn't used. Probably in a skip at this stage... :(

or there's a chap making perfect replica vents, you'll probably find him on thesamba or someone here will know. I believe the '02 vents aren't 100% correct for 6V lids. I'd imagine you'd pay handsomely for the perfect replicas though...

Aidan I've a decklid from a 1302 here that you can have, the decklid is rusty but vents are perfect to weld into another vert.

Cheers Mikey - I'd like to take the easy way out and avoid the extra work. Can I keep you in mind while I search abroad?

Cheers Ben - his stuff looks great and he's not expensive when you look at the cost of getting one fixed up and converted here. Shipping's the only other issue but I'll talk to a welder today and then I'll know where I stand moneywise with the local option

Should have a faux one in the garage, I'll try and dig it out over the weekend...

Forgot all about this Aidan, sorry ...

Have one alright, it's a 6V one that had vents grafted in. Only pic I have at the moment is this one (back wall on the left, ignore the plank...)



I'll take some more pics shortly...
