Yep, I think you're right bud.  Just been looking at LTcamper89's photo and it is different to mine.  I didn't take into account the issue to where the 'hump' is located.
 Well done for posting photo but would simply turning the gator do the trick i wonder ?

Just been out and fitted my new LHD gaitor to my LHD van and all is good.

But, I have to say, I took a look at the hole it covers and to my untrained eye it looks completely symetrical.

I'd be amazed if the RHD hole is different, and if that's the case they should be directly interchangeable.

Not sure - I've got my old LHD one if someone wants to try it. I don't know anyone local to me with a RHD van that I can try it on.

I didn't have the dropping of the cart problem, but it was all in German.

I used one tab with Google translate open, and the other on the shopping cart and flicked back and forth copying and pasting Big smile

Takes a little patience though!

I did not have much success on line with vw classic .de once i went over 2 items they just drop off the cart ! and you have to start again, the pages not fully translating did not help either so i sent an e-mail asking for a phone number as not listed. No number was the reply any way after many e-mails was 25.20 euro (£21-35 stg) to southern Ireland so in the end just phoned Andy at vw heritage and although the gator is not on their  part search they can get it found this much easier and much less frustrating !

This is mine. The hole in the mat is 7"x5", since I could not find a tape measure it is an educated estimation.

I have been trying to enter the hsautoparts.nl website but I cannot see any links on that page to the shop.  Site under construction logo at the bottom so maybe that's the problem.
 
Chappy; How mush did the gaiter cost? Postage?
 
Thanks

Let me know if anyone wants my old LHD one in order to experiment with RHD fitment.

I could take a photo of the gear lever aperture in the floor if of our LHD - if someone could do the same for a RHD we could compare 'holes' Embarrassed

Hmmm not sure what to make of it really.  There are no part numbers on my old or new one and they're identical in every way (apart from the huge rip in the side of my old one) LOL

The bag the new one came in is marked 'Original VW Classic parts" with the VW logo, and the stock label has the VW logo on it with part number 40-281 711 101 A.
