OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

Permatex Ultra Copper RTV Sealant (Silicone), 3oz Tube
Permatex Ultra Copper RTV Sealant (Silicone), 3oz Tube
Price: $9.95

Permatex Ultra Copper RTV Sealant (Silicone), 3oz Tube is an excellent sealant for cylinder bases, and cylinder shims. Wipe on a thin coat, let it skin up then install the parts. Also great for valve cover gaskets, oil strainer and generator stand gaskets, etc. Permatex makes several different formulations of RTV, we only carry 2 of them because these 2 cover all applications that we need for our Vintage VWs.

The COPPER is the best for high heat applications, like exhaust systems. If you don't want to use a gasket (or can't get one fast enough), just wipe a skim coat of the Copper on, and let it skin up, then assemble the parts. It will also seal up some unevenness in the flanges, or other situations that can create exhaust leaks.

The GRAY is the most oil resistant of the Permatex RTV Line. So it's best used for any area that will get exposed to engine oil or grease. Cylinder bases, oil pump base gaskets, oil strainer gaskets, valve cover gaskets, generator stand gaskets, etc.

Both are a must to have in the toolbox!

ACN Flanged Racing Intake and Exhaust Nut, 8 x 10mm, EACH
ACN Flanged Racing Intake and Exhaust Nut, 8 x 10mm, EACH
Price: $0.95

ACN Flanged Racing Intake and Exhaust Nut, 8 x 10mm, EACH were designed after evaluating all problems with other nuts. We tried to solve them all with this product! 8mm threads, with a 10mm 6pt hex, and a 13mm flanged bottom to spread the clamping forces! You can torque these to 35lb/ft, though we feel that is excessive. The threads fail at just over 40lb/ft. We have tried these in several different alloys (including Stainless Steel) and success with one combination was the one we used!

Once you use these you will never EVER go back to the Brass Nuts (that strip and round off), or the barely better 12mm ones out there.

These are a LOT smaller than 11mm on the Head, and the flange keeps the header far enough away from the nut to allow your socket or wrench head enough room to get on and off!

We use these all over because they are so useful. The obvious application is header nuts, when you have a larger than stock header. These even work on exhausts as big as 2 1/4"!!!!! The not so obvious application are to hold down your intake manifold(s)! Now you have a ton of room to use a FAST Ratchet with a long extension above the carb top! You can take a dual carb system off in under a minute after a little practice! Imagine, no more bloody knuckles after an hour of fighting your car!!!!
