Classic Volkswagen Chassis Parts | Airkewld

A few tweaks here or there could be the difference when upgrading some simple chassis components on your Type 1.
- by Pete Skiba - PRO since 2002 | Airkewld.com | Updated on 6/7/23

The number of questionable decisions made when repairing a Classic Volkswagen is staggering.

Featured Products - Chassis Inspection Plate: A remedy recommended for many Classic Volkswagen's is the clutch tube coming loose from the stationary bracket inside the chassis tunnel. For years, the hole saw, air chisel, was used to cut open the chassis and hose clamp or zip tie the tube back to the bracket. Now, you can fix it correctly with the Chassis Inspection Plate Kit. Cutting and welding are needed to do this job perfectly.

Six Shooter Clutch Adjustment Nut - 2820 Six Shooter Clutch Adjustment Nut - 2820

There is a wing nut that, when functioning at its best, is a FIVE-out-of-TEN experience. This original nut would allow the VW owner to adjust his clutch feel to get the right amount of pedal to disengage the clutch. But most of the time, the OEM German wingnut is no longer on the vehicle, and a Chinese soft nut was chosen, and it feels like a week of not shaving your face. Heck, have you ever tried to adjust it when it was cold outside and you were twisting this wing nut, only for you to miss a twist, and like a propeller, it slaps your finger to the point of you letting out a Go#$&#)$)*_#@)_*$*it!!! Ya, we have all been there. We gave this trick little product a pretty cool name. Yeah, I am biased. We call it the Six Shooter Clutch Adjuster.

Cotter Pin Replacement Bolt Kit Cotter Pin Replacement Bolt Kit

For several decades, castellated nuts required a cotter pin to hold the nut from backing off. Volkswagen has used them on their 36mm axle nuts from the start. Today, it changed by adding a reusable bolt kit with a nylon locking nut. Say goodbye to an archaic piece of tin and say hello to peace of mind, the Cotter Pin Replacement Bolt Kit.
