Material & Construction

This piece is CNC-machined from solid 6061-T6 billet aluminum stock, which is why restorers and builders specify JayCee chassis hardware by name over stamped-steel factory-style replacements — the billet construction resists the corrosion and fatigue that eventually take out OEM-style parts.

Installation Notes

Confirm fit against your specific chassis before final installation and torque fasteners to a snug, even preload. Anti-seize on threaded fasteners is good practice on any aluminum-to-steel connection exposed to weather.

As an aftermarket upgrade rather than a reproduction of the stamped-steel factory piece, this JayCee part is built to outlast and outperform the OEM original while remaining a straightforward bolt-on for anyone comfortable with basic hand tools.

Every JayCee billet piece is CNC-cut to close tolerances and finished in-house, so what arrives is ready to bolt on without hand-fitting or secondary machining.

Whether you are building a stock rebuild or a full performance engine, this part is sized and finished to match the rest of a correctly detailed air-cooled VW build.
