Headlamp mounting bracket

[t4mel]

Hi, Does anyone know where I can source the bracket that the headlamp screws into (type 3 '72)? Someone used a woodscrew to fix it on and the bracket has rusted away.
Thanks.

You can't source one as such
Just make an angle bracket & drill/tap it to suit
Ideally welded in place, but I don't see why you couldnt just use self tapping screws to secure it in place.

Thanks Peter. Looking at maybe changing the whole bowl as it's in pretty bad shape. Am I right in thinking that the late beetle ones are the same?
