1302/03 Beetle Framehead Rubber Bung

On the underside of 1302 and 1303 Super Beetles produced from August 1971 onwards, there are elongated holes located on both sides of the frame head. These holes provide access for inspection and maintenance of the hollow frame head compartment, a critical area of the vehicle. However, if the rubber bungs that seal these holes are missing or damaged, moisture and humidity can penetrate into the compartment, leading to rust, corrosion, and eventually perforations in the frame.

These replacement rubber bungs are designed to fit perfectly into the elongated holes, sealing the frame head compartment and protecting it from the elements. By ensuring these bungs are in place, you can prevent costly frame damage and extend the life of your Beetle.

Key Features:

  • Fits 1302 and 1303 Super Beetles (August 1971 onwards): Specifically designed for 1302 and 1303 Beetles, these bungs fit into the elongated inspection holes on both sides of the frame head, providing a secure and effective seal.
  • Prevents Rust and Corrosion: Without these rubber bungs, moisture can easily enter the hollow frame head compartment, leading to rust and potential structural damage. These bungs keep moisture out, protecting the integrity of the frame.
  • Durable Rubber Construction: Made from high-quality rubber, these bungs are built to withstand the elements and provide long-lasting protection for your Beetle’s frame head.

Applications:

  • VW 1302 Beetle (August 1971 onwards)
  • VW 1303 Beetle (August 1971 onwards)

Quantity:

  • Sold Separately: Each bung is sold individually.
  • Two Required Per Vehicle: One bung is needed for each side of the frame head, so two bungs are required for complete protection.

Why Choose These Rubber Bungs?

  1. Prevents Moisture Penetration: These bungs seal the inspection holes in the frame head, preventing moisture from entering the hollow compartment and protecting the frame from rust and corrosion.

  2. Preserves Structural Integrity: Rust and perforations in the frame head can compromise the safety and structural integrity of your vehicle. These bungs help maintain the health of the frame by keeping the compartment dry.

  3. Essential for Restoration and Maintenance: For anyone restoring or maintaining a 1302 or 1303 Super Beetle, these rubber bungs are a must-have to prevent future frame damage and keep your Beetle in top condition.

Why Replacing Missing or Damaged Rubber Bungs is Important:

The frame head compartment of your 1302 or 1303 Super Beetle is prone to rust and corrosion if moisture is allowed to penetrate. Missing or damaged rubber bungs leave the compartment vulnerable to humidity, which can quickly lead to rust and even perforations in the frame. Replacing these bungs with new, high-quality rubber seals ensures the compartment remains dry, protecting your Beetle from costly and potentially dangerous frame damage.

Key Specifications:

  • Fitment: Designed for 1302 and 1303 Super Beetles from August 1971 onwards.
