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:

Post by: Green79 on October 21, 2008, 09:26:47 pm: 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 Jack

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. If you still need those hub-cap clips, here is the part number:

321-601-175 B

I bought a bunch at www.1stvwparts.com about a year ago. They had plenty at the time, and it looks like they're still available. You can order off the webpage using the "OEM Parts Catalog" button, and ordering online. Or, you can call them and order over the phone. They're the cheapest around. I get a 20% discount at Hallmark VW here in town, and it's still cheaper to buy from 1stVWparts.com, even after shipping.

If you can't find any, please let me know. I think I have a bunch of used ones somewhere.

Also, if you need that accelerator clip, I'm pretty sure I have a few of those laying around I could help you out with.

Just let me know,

Jeremy
