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!

Distributor Points and Input Shaft Bearing Grease, 3oz, 22058
Distributor Points and Input Shaft Bearing Grease, 3oz, 22058
Price: $13.95

Distributor Points and Input Shaft Bearing Grease, 3oz, 22058 is a great high temp grease to use on the distributor cam lobes, where the rubbing block of the points rubs against. This location is often dry, resulting in "squeaky" points operation.

This high temperature grease won't fly out onto your points like Vaseline, or other greases! STICKY to stay on the distributor shaft and centrifugal advance mechanism.

This is also EXCELLENT for the needle bearings for your transmission input shaft, it's usually inside the engine's gland nut.

You should put some of this on the point lobe every 3k miles. This is also GREAT for input shaft and throw out bearings (inside the gland nut or flywheel), since it won't get hot and then fly out onto your clutch! Also used for generator or alternator bearings. This is a must for your garage.

SCAT Chromoly Gland Nut & Washer +.250" Longer Than Stock, 1 1/2" Head, 60026
SCAT Chromoly Gland Nut & Washer +.250" Longer Than Stock, 1 1/2" Head, 60026
Price: $29.95

SCAT Chromoly Gland Nut & Washer +.250" Longer Than Stock, 1 1/2" Head, 60026 is a fantastic Gland Nut that uses a stock 36mm Head Socket. Super strong 4340 Chromoly steel billet that is precision machined on CNC equipment. Comes with OEM style pilot shaft bearing for long life. This gland nut has a thicker cross section for added strength, and the larger than stock bolt head gives maximum surface area and even clamping pressure on the flywheel when tightening. We torque these to 400lb/ft.

This part is NOT used on normal Type 1 engines! This Gland Nut is designed to be used with either

2000 (year) and earlier SCAT Cranks
or
SCAT BILLET Crankshafts (the extra length is used to strengthen the thread hold)

If you wonder if you have one of these, you don't (you would know if you did). If you try to use this on with a normal crank and flywheel, the gland nut bottoms out the threads before the flywheel is tight, and you have serious problems!

The race-quality units are balanced to within .4oz/inch. They are 100% load tested adn assembled on a jig for consistent quality. The clutch contact face is high tensile cast iron alloy for strength and stability.

Choose from 4 different pressures for a variety of applications.

1700lb/Stage 1 will handle almost any street VW, these will handle 180lb/ft of torque.

2100/Stage 2 works great in applications where the driver is determined to either win or break something; these will handle 220lb/ft of torque.

2600lb/Stage 3 will hold 260lb/ft of torque (no VW does this unless it's boosted/NOS).

3000lb/Stage 4 holds 300lbs/ft, they grenade VW Transaxles.

KEP Pressure plates are the best clutches to use on your volkswagen beetle, for your sand car, dune buggy, or your hot street car. They work great for vw busses too!

For reference, my beetle runs mid 11s in the 1/4 mile and I run a Stage 1 so I'm not changing transaxles every dozen passes!

"Early" are Transaxles up to 1970, they are identified with the throwout bearing that has clips that fall out.

"Late" are for 1971 and newer, the clips are built into the T/O bearing. We prefer the late style, the bearing slides on a collar and is more stable and less prone to trouble!
