FS: Engine Lid Standoffs to keep your beetle engine cooool


Item: CNC Engine lid standoffs ( will also fit late beetle)
Condition: NEW
Location: Galston
Price: $49 plus postage.

Keep your beetle engine cool by fitting this engine lid standoff, and enjoy the benefits of dramatically reduced oil temps. My car runs oil temps of 10-15deg C cooler with this standoff fitted, with no other changes being made.

Opening the bottom instead of the top means you dont have to worry about rain or foreign objects falling into the engine bay, and there is no need to "install/remove" like hoodjaxs which means less damage to your painted engine lid and car.:cool:


Pm if you want to buy

Will these work on later decklids as well?

I bought a Jaycee one only to discover that it doesn't work without modifying the catch.

Craig

Does the engine lid still hold tight?

Thinking about it for my 'race' bug and don't want it picked up by a scruitineer

Cheers

Hi Shaun, yes it holds tight (same as factory) on the early beetles :tu:

The catch on a later beetle operates differently so there is some movement, but its minimal.
