Welcome,

A friend with a 1983 Hi Top Westy sourced the gutters and support beams which hold the gutters from https://www.paruzzi.com/uk/volkswagen/

This was 2 years ago, so they might still have in stock.

If you have a high top the gutters are different to a tin top , pretty sure AH Schofields sell replacement gutters

I bought a tin top roof chop and used it to replace my rotten Westfalia hightop gutters, The Westfalia roof is pretty modified from the standard tip top roof, but the bit that was rusted was a good match for the steel on the tin top, so worked out really well, there were other crossbeams with rust that I had not expected, so it was good to have the chop to use. Mick, NwVw supplied it for me.
It was a quite a big job though.

In german webshops there are new gutter repair sections available. I assume Schofields has them too.
