VW Type 2 Bus "Bullet" Turn Signal Templates (1955–1962) | CNC-Cut Left & Right Set
If you've cut turn-signal openings into a fresh nose skin by hand, you know the problem: aftermarket skins come blank so they fit every year, which leaves you measuring and cutting your good metal and hoping you got it right. These magnetic templates fix the openings for the 1955–1962 Type 2 "bullet" turn signals in the exact factory location, so you scribe and cut with confidence instead of guesswork.
