On a stock engine, the lower \"sled\" tins (which protect the pushrod tubes and direct cooling air) bolt directly to the heater boxes. When you switch to J-tubes or aftermarket headers, you lose those mounting points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eThese tabs are engineered to be welded onto your exhaust or bracketry, providing a threaded or secure hole to bolt your tinware back into place. Keeping your engine tins securely mounted is not just about looks—it is critical for managing cylinder head temperatures by ensuring the hot air is forced out the rear of the vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003eDetailed Vehicle Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003eVW Beetle:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e1954, 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\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003eVW Super Beetle:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003e1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003eVW Karmann Ghia:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003e1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003eVW Transporter (Bus):\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"21\"\u003e1954, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"22\"\u003eVW Thing:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"23\"\u003e1973, 1974\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"24\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"25\"\u003eProduct Highlights \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"26\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"26,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"26,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFabricator Friendly:\u003c\/b\u003e Raw steel finish makes welding easy and ensures a strong, permanent bond to your exhaust components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"26,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"26,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eUniversal Application:\u003c\/b\u003e While designed for Type 1 engines, these can be adapted for any custom shroud or tinware mounting needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"26,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"26,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eLow Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e Small footprint ensures they don't interfere with the tight clearances between the engine and the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"27\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"28\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"28,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"28,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 00-3359-0\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"28,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"28,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/b\u003e EMPI\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"28,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"28,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Unfinished Steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"28,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"28,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/b\u003e Sold as a pair\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"29\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"30\"\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Maintenance Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"31\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"31,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"31,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSurface Prep:\u003c\/b\u003e Since these are weld-on parts, ensure the mounting surface on your exhaust is ground down to bare metal to ensure a clean, deep-penetrating weld.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"31,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"31,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTest Fit First:\u003c\/b\u003e Mock up your lower engine tins with the engine in the car (if possible) to find the exact placement before welding the tabs permanently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"31,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"31,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eRust Prevention:\u003c\/b\u003e After welding, be sure to paint or coat the tabs and the surrounding weld area with high-temp paint to prevent rust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EMPI INC.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47374275445023,"sku":"00-3359-0","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/8797\/1103\/files\/00-3359-0.jpg?v=1769812579","url":"https:\/\/shop.ipconlinestore.com\/products\/52176","provider":"IPC - Import Parts Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
