Secure your flywheel properly and protect your engine’s rotating assembly with this good quality crankshaft gland nut washer, designed to fit all aircooled VW Type 1 engines from the earliest 25HP motors through to the later 1600cc Twin Port units.
This hardened steel washer sits behind the gland nut on the crankshaft, distributing the tightening load evenly across the flywheel surface to prevent distortion and ensure long-term reliability of the crankshaft and flywheel joint. Whether you’re building a stock engine or refreshing an older motor, replacing this washer is essential for proper torque retention and drivetrain safety.
Compatible with a wide range of classic Volkswagens—including Beetles, Buses, Karmann Ghias, Type 3s, Trekker, and Buggy/Baja conversions—this washer is a small but critical part of any engine rebuild or clutch replacement.
