End Play Tool 356/912/914-4 (Performance Products)
                           Designed to measure the end play movement of the VW crankshaft without the use
                           of a dial indicator. Simply bolt the tool to the engine case and use feeler gauges to
                           determine the amount of play. The amount of play must be accurately set to prevent
                           bearing damage on air-cooled V'dubs and Porsche 912 and 914 models.

Clutch Install Tool 356/912/911 "AUDI VW 10" (Performance Products)
