This captive nut was the VW factory solution.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis captive nut can be found on more modern Type-1 engine cases at the top left in the direction of travel. It belongs to the four attachment points from the gearbox to the engine.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType-1 motors are attached to the gearbox with two bolts and two studs. While studs are used at the bottom of the case - which are secured with nuts on the gearbox side - bolts are used at the top. On the right side (in the direction of travel), this is a bolt with a semicircular head, which is secured in the engine compartment by a nut.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn the left side (in the direction of travel), a regular M10 bolt and nut are used in older models. However, if the hole in the housing is larger than an M10 thread, this captive nut must be used. It gets driven in from the engine case side and replaces the securing nut.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003cbr\u003eBug (Type 1): 71-79\u003cbr\u003eBus (Type 2): 71\u003cbr\u003eType 3: 71-74\u003cbr\u003eGhia: 71-74\u003cbr\u003eThing: 73-74\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AA Performance Products","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46603291263166,"sku":"111 101 135","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/6323\/0398\/files\/111101135.jpg?v=1776107644","url":"https:\/\/gex-international.myshopify.com\/products\/captive-nut-for-crankcase","provider":"GEX_AA Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
