Work continues on restoring the Bug. Couple questions: What year rear windows will fit my car? (73 Super Beetle) And I'm looking at replacing the fuel lines with all metal to minimize the risk of another fire. What do I need to get and how long a length will I need?

Rear window got bigger in '72, so a '72-up window will work.

i'll be honest with you Scott....this time won't be the last time you have to tell me...LOL... JT(who is old for his age and has another B-day next saturday...)
If you want to re-doo the fuel lines, I suggest you use steel-braided. You'll need to get a fitting to go over the fuel line from the chassis (either a flare or a "crush" type) to adapt it to threaded. then buy braided lines & the fitings that will screw into that adaptor, both sides of the fuel pump, & the carb. No more hose clamps or rubber lines at all... HTH, ~ Paul aka "Tha Driver"
