Type 1 Valve Spring Retainer and Collet Kit (Not 25HP Or 30HP Engines)

This standard replacement valve spring is designed to fit all VW aircooled engines from 1200cc to 1600cc, produced from 1960 onwards. Built to OEM specifications, it ensures optimal valve control and longevity under standard operating conditions. Whether you`re overhauling a stock motor or carrying out routine cylinder head maintenance, these top-quality reproduction springs are the ideal choice.
