I'm looking for 1 second hand cross ply to match my other Firestone Wide Whites and can't find one anywhere. Does anyone know if Karmann Konnection or FBI, etc sell this kind of thing?

This guy sells new.
4 or 5.
So he may sell just one,but you can probably buy just one new in the UK.
Vintagebug from here purchased some,so maybe worth speaking to him.

Hi Dan,

I bought mine from a private seller on fleabay. Not brand new, but very good used ones. Vintage Tyres sell them new and pre67VW members can get a 5% discount & free carriage in the UK (so it says in the Members Only forum).

Found a hot rod place that will do a good price on a new one. Need to get some interior designer and a chain to distress it to match the others.

Is that the stuff I mentioned to you a while back, John? Did you ever try it, and if you did, what was it like?

Just seen that the split van/oval bug centre has firestone whitewalls listed on their site (new ones though). Might be worth a call...
