Not sure on availability but Gerson is the only one producing early pans. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=433942&start=80

Heater channels: I got this tip from a well known restorer:thumbup: - IGP with bottom from WOlf and need to change the hole for the heater outlet. The floorpans is a mystery. I think in CZ there is a guy making them for kubels, They could be similar? Greetings.

I have spoke to Gerson at Bad Camberg and he told me that he will have heating channels for the early bugs in next future. I'll hope that the will fit better than his fenders ;-)

I have managed to get some of the "correct " style IPG channels and Hooky is going to make me some decent bottoms . Anyone got any leads on replacement of the flexible tube that comes from the channels to the windows . Any help appreciated
