I'd also be interested to know if anyone has any information on a source for these lifter channels.
I bought one from VW Heritage and as you say, it's nothing like the original and simply can't be used. My car is a '57. Not sure if there was any change to the channel during the oval era, but I'd be interested to know if anyone has had better luck with a repro item or knows of a source for good second hand ones.
