You can certainly buy wire sets. They just aren't as nice as the originals. If 
you had originals, certain parts of them should NEVER be thrown away when you 
buy new sets. Instead you should throw away the new parts and sub in the better 
OE parts. The parts in question are the special right angle dist cap 
connectors.

If you mean the little pieces with the 2 little holes that the spark plugs fit 
thru, then, no, these are NLA. You'll have to scrounge for these. Dual port 
beetle parts MAY work here, does anyone know for sure?

If you mean the big covers that go on top of each side of the engine then I 
have a number of these available.
