Here's something (ugly) you don't see every day.

Note the SA dusty conditions engine vents behind the cab. While it will fit a regular split SC, I don't suppose there are very many potential buyers out there with a split SC with those vents. I'd rather have the bakkie in the pic (NFS).

I've been looking at building a canvas with wood slates canopy for my SC.
Should look different.

No Mitchell, with those vents it's most definitely a South African BAKKIE!
I thought the Aussie dusty conditions set-up involved the 'fro look, with the engine vents above the windscreen and the double skinned roof.

Yes we can them high roof but they also came out with those vents. I am guessing for the same reason, dusty operating conditions. Mitchell

Unique part. I haven't compared it to a Beetle grab handle, but I don't think they're similar. If you need a Fleetline one, drop me a PM.
