Carbon Fiber Covers for the Washburn Windows Large (11" x 7.75")
Short answer: These are a pair of carbon fiber cover panels (BY01-CF) that bolt onto the #BY01 Washburn Windows Large (11" x 7.75") frames in place of the steel covers. They fit VW Beetles that already have the #BY01 frames welded in; the frames are not included.
Already running the #BY01 Big Windows and want to lose the weight and finish the bay properly? These are the same covers in carbon fiber. Same openings, same bolt pattern, a good deal lighter, and a show finish under the deck lid.
They bolt straight onto the frames you already welded in. Take the steel covers off, put these on, done. No cutting, no welding, no second set of openings.
Fitment
- VW Beetle (Type 1): 1949–1979, with the #BY01 Washburn Windows Large (11" x 7.75") frames already welded in
- Does not fit: the standard-size Washburn Windows, or a car without the #BY01 frames
What you get
- Two carbon fiber covers, left and right, sold as a pair
- Cut to the same pattern and bolt pattern as the standard #BY01 covers
Who these are for
Show cars, trailered cars, and any build where the engine bay is part of the point. The steel covers that come with the kit do the same job — these do it lighter, and they get looked at.
