On a classic Beetle, the hinge bolts pass through the hinge itself and the bodywork, threading into these moveable plates located inside the engine compartment's upper channel. Because these plates are hidden and often exposed to moisture and heat, the \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"382\"\u003eM6-1.0 threads\u003c\/b\u003e frequently strip or the plate itself becomes heavily corroded, making it impossible to tighten or align the decklid properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eThis replacement bracket is a heavy-duty steel plate featuring precision-cut threads that match the original factory hardware. It is designed to slide into the factory retainer slot, allowing for the slight \"float\" required to adjust the decklid gaps for a perfect, flush fit. Whether you are dealing with a \"spun\" nut or a snapped bolt, replacing this plate is the correct way to ensure your engine lid stays securely attached and aligned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDetailed Vehicle Compatibility\u003c\/b\u003e This bracket is a universal fit for the Type 1 chassis throughout its entire production run:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVW Beetle (Standard):\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003e1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVW Super Beetle:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\"\u003e1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProduct Highlights \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eUniversal Fitment:\u003c\/b\u003e One part number covers nearly 30 years of Beetle production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePrecision Threaded:\u003c\/b\u003e Features clean \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"35\"\u003eM6-1.0 threads\u003c\/b\u003e to prevent cross-threading during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStructural Steel:\u003c\/b\u003e Manufactured from heavy-gauge steel to provide the clamping force needed to support the weight of the decklid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAdjustable Alignment:\u003c\/b\u003e Sized to fit within the body channel while allowing enough movement for precise panel gap adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 111-827-171\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThread Pitch:\u003c\/b\u003e M6-1.0\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Zinc-Plated or Natural Steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/b\u003e Sold Individually (2 required per hinge, 4 per car)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"17\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Maintenance Tips\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"18,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDon't Forget the Anti-Seize:\u003c\/b\u003e Apply a small amount of anti-seize lubricant to your hinge bolts before threading them into this new plate.
