Reinforced side plate - swing axle gearbox | VW T1 Bus, Beetle, KG 08/61-, Type 3, Type 181
Reinforced side plate for the swing axle output of the gearbox, suitable for the VW T1 Bus, Beetle and Karmann Ghia from 08/1961. The plate closes off the gearbox housing around the swing axle and is made thicker than the original, which prevents play and leakage under higher load.
Please note
Due to the increasing demand BBT has taken these aluminium heavy duty transmission case plates into the program. They are mostly adequate for use with gear boxes for competition. Most of the times these gear boxes had to be adjusted with a heavy duty differential (BBT 1420/1421) and strengthened driving shafts, resulting that the casing was suffering considerably. This heavy duty aluminium plate replaces the original cover plate and prevents that twisting forces can be developed which can lead to damage of the gearbox
