These are standard KG decklid scripts. Very easy to find anywhere that offers vintage VW parts, ebay, theSamba, etc. The used ones always seem to be missing the front-end tail of the G in Ghia, so be careful when buying a used/original one.
I believe I bought a new repro one for $25 recently from Bill & Steve's.

Can't get them here.... Any KG (TI & TIII) is a rare thing in this part of the globe... I think there are less than a dozen in the whole state!.... So finding parts locally is out.... I heard that the repop ones are smaller than the OG ones, so was a little unsure about buying without seeing it.... But if you say that the repop ones are pukka, I'll drop Bill & Steve's a msg and have a gander on ebay too...
Cheers again Lee....

There are three size KG scripts (that I'm aware of): - large version fitted to early T14 KGs on decklid (1955-61)
- smaller version fitted to T34s & T14s (1962-74)
- tiny version fitted to T34 & T14 dash panel above radio (1967-74)
I've never heard of the regular KG decklid script being too small for the T34 decklid. I can help source one for you if you're unable to. I'd start with KG Parts & Restoration or Bill & Steve's VW Parts first. |

I just got one off ISP West.... Needed a few things that they had, and noticed they also stocked the script.... The price was ok, so I grabbed one.... If it's no good, I'll let you know.... Once again.... Thanks for the offer of help Lee.
