Some accessories mounted...

During last week Fabio from HH Garage installed some accessories I had bought...
Sorry for the not-so-nitid pics, I shot them by my mobile phone.
Here is the FoMoCo fog light, fitted through a custom made aluminum plate.

The fog light runs! It is a sealed beam 6 volt NOS unit. Great for those nights when normal headlights are not enough...

Here is a VDO 'bullet' tachometer. Installed through a custom made plate put in place of the usual ashtray.
I saw this for the first time at the 1st European Bug In, and I immediately thought it was the right one for my crew cab, with its rough black outer surface and cream numbers on black background. So when I found one on eBay Germany, I just bought it. It's not wired yet, because it is a 12 volt unit.

Here are my favorite add of the moment: the thin white band trims. I bought them from Mecatechnic in France, but the badge on the parcel says 'VW Heritage', so I think the French store buys them from the English store.
I like very much the result. The gloss black Teledials with polished edge looks at their best with these trims!

Overall appearance:

The day after, out in the sun.

Fabio also installed the 6 volt Bosch blue coil and the Bosch 010 distributor. The pics in next post. Stay tuned!

Amber FoMoCo Fog Light

I just bought this nice amber fog light from eBay USA.
It's an NOS FoMoCo FORD VINTAGE 1950s FOG LIGHT MODEL H1

Never mounted and has been stored inside for years. It's beautifully chromed. No dings or pits. About 5 1/4'' tall.

It will fit perfectly the style of The Vinestard VW double cab.

Here is a pic of The Vinestard, recently moved to Milan, where I use it during the week.
