HEATER CHANNEL

Precision Steel for Comprehensive Repairs Every restoration project is different, ranging from minor patch work to full-scale body-off reconstructions. Our inventory is tailored to meet every level of repair:

• Complete Heater Channel Assemblies: We provide full replacement channels for standard Beetles (1952–1968) and the 1971–1979 Super Beetle. These assemblies are designed to restore factory-correct door alignment and structural strength.

• Bottom Plates & Reinforcement Rails: Often, the internal structure remains sound while the bottom plate has succumbed to moisture. We stock high-quality bottom plates and reinforcement rails that allow you to rebuild the channel’s strength without replacing the entire upper section.

• Specialized Repair Sections: For targeted fixes, shop our front and rear heater channel repair panels. These precision-stamped sections are ideal for addressing localized rust while preserving as much original metal as possible.

• Jack Supports & Hardware: A structural repair isn't complete without safe lifting points. We carry jack supports and reinforcement plates for Beetles, Ghias, and Busses to ensure your chassis remains serviceable.

Restoration-Grade Quality Our heater channels and repair panels are sourced from trusted brands like EMPI, JP Group, and Key Parts. These components are manufactured with the correct metal thickness and stamping accuracy to ensure that your floor pans, rocker panels, and pillars align perfectly during the welding process.
