During the eighties and the nineties it was a rage, when reconditioning or cleaning one’s engine, to assemble it with coloured or chrome plated tinware for a personalised VW model, If you needed some tins for an original construction, there was plenty of second hand  tinware, so that there was no need for new tinware.  Nowadays things have changed and we have to deal with an increasing demand for original style black painted tinware.  Many of these are already available in our assortment, though, those for the dog house, which is placed outside the fan shroud on 1300 & 1600cc engines, weren’t part of our offer yet. From now on they are available painted in black as a pair in a good reproduction, seal included.
