Hi,
I've read that the black plastic lug bolt covers for VW bugs will work for 914s.
What years/models VW covers will fit? Or what size? Most of the ones I've found are 19mm, but my lug bolts (for Mahles) are 38mm.

stock lug head size on a 914 are 19mm (fuch, mahle, steel)
most vdubs are 17mm
i have vdub bolts in my 914 that are 17mm (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

the 38mm you refer to on your mahles should be the length, not the head size (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

All air cooled VWs had 19mm wrench size lug bolt heads, and all Vanagons did, too. Most water cooled VWs use the 17mm wrench size. The Cap'n
