| What are cylinder tin cooling vanes? |
| The original German cylinder tins have vanes that help to direct air flow over the cylinders. You can see it The German engineers knew you needed it. |
| As you can see, the new SCAT cylinder tins do not have these vanes. This messes up the airflow in this critical area. The Chinese decided you didn't need it. |
| This is a faithful reproduction of the VW part to improve air flow. These parts are professionally laser cut from 18 gauge steel, production bent, powdercoated, & MIG welded to the SCAT cylinder tin. They are proudly made in Toledo Ohio, USA. |

| The oil Cooler "Hoover Bit". I have been told it is called this after Bob Hoover, a long time VW guy that always stressed the importance of this part. This is an often neglected little bit of tin that goes on the oil cooler, sealing it around the fan shroud. Not having one of these is just leaving a big gap for the air that should go through your oil cooler to go down around it! These parts are being reproduced by Zwerks, out of Canada. I sell these parts powdercoated to match the rest of your kit for $15. |
