Good call, I was wondering if I should put one on the A35, but I don't know what you'd call them or where to source one.

for the A35 wern't they just tin as opposed to tinted material? if that type is ok then you can "borrow" one and take a mold for fibreglass and make one  never seen one for a Mazda so borrowing might be tricky .. |

I've seen a thread on how to make one yourself, my guess would be it was on the hamb.
I should have a old magazine with a guide in it too.
It does of course require quite a bit of knowledge and tools...

I got mine from Australia then SWMBO stole it for her Beetle when I got my type 3;  Not really used for sun vising but good for keeping snow off the rubbish wipers;  You might find more inspiration here; www.flickr.com/groups/922348@N22/pool/Dave. |

See them at shows that cater for aircooled vws quite often. Usually mesh ones, in the shape of the one on the type 3 pictured.
Saw at least one at N London Volksfest for example. They werent askin loads for it iirc.

I'm still interested in the beetle/type 3 measurements as I'm fancying a mesh one for my amazon just because I've not seen one with a mesh one on

I've got one in my garage somewhere, possibly in the boot of my Merc. Got it to fit a Merc commercial but was too small.
