Throttle cable clip on fuel pump.  I need 2

Wheel clips to hold center hub caps on.  I need 32

If anyone knows where I can get these, please let me know.

What model/year car do you have?
   I know www.altrom.com has the crank
   bolt. They may have hub cap clips and
   I think the clip on the throttle cable is
   integral with the cable itself. That is to
   say, I think you only get the clip with a
   new cable, but, I might be wrong.

If this guy's information is correct, the OEM p/n is 321.601.175B, but I don't think you want to pay his price for 32  http://cgi.ebay.ca/Clip-Wheel-VW-Type-3-NOS-Parts-321-601-175B_W0QQitemZ310041575136QQcmdZViewItem?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116

I do know they come up occasionally on eBay for more reasonable prices.

Hmmm...I couldn't find it either.
They do list the crank bolt for
the "ME" engines. It's Part#N90577101.
As I recall it's about $3.50.
I don't know if it's the same for your
car, though.

I should have clicked on subsonic's
link, in the first place. It would have
saved  a lot of time searching
about on Altrom's website.  :oops:

Anyone know if you can use a 1.6 crank bolt on a 1.5 crank? The 1.5 stock bolt is not torque-to-yield....

Or, does anyone know the dimensions of the stock 1.5 or early 1.6 crank bolt? I think it's M12x1.5... ARP has a bolt of that thread size, and the length is 1.8 inches... don't know what the shoulder length is though. $22 for it!

Hubcap clips should still be available from dealer (or cheaper) thru 1stvwparts.com. You can get the PN from www.vagcat.com. I bought a whole set of clips from 1stvwparts.com about a year ago. No problem, and they cost about $0.30-0.50 per clip.

If you can't find the PN for the throttle clips, I've got a bunch I think. I'm right here in Brentwood, TN. In fact, I'm the guy who bought that 1982 Rabbit Coupe shell from you that had been sitting in Smyrna about 1 1/2 years ago.

Hey Jeremy.......I lost your phone number, good to hear from you.  I tried searching for the clips but found none.  Do you have a part number?  PM me with your number, I will do the same.
