VW Scirocco Mk1 & Mk2 Ground Cable Replacements Available

Mk1 Mk2 Ground Cable for Classic Volkswagen models on the A1 chassis. This includes Scirocco, Rabbit, and Jetta. These VWs often suffer from mysterious electrical gremlins.

020 Transmission Mount
& Engine Mount Pressing
Tool Prototype

We currently have in the works a 020 Transmission Mount Tool prototype. This is for pressing out transmission mounts with a press. This is made from polycarbonate carbon fiber. This material is extremely strong. It has a rating of between 10,000 & 12,000 psi at this thickness. As a result, this 12,000 psi rating should yield almost a 6 ton pressing force.
