Lock plate w/ bend tabs for front spindle nut for bug 50-65, ghia 56-65.
My personal experience with THIS lock plate, supplied by Premium Quality, is that the engagement tab is about 1mm too wide and needs to be trimmed to fit the engagement slot on top of your spindle.
I trim it with electrical dikes.
Also known as part# 111 405 681.
of these to my order now.
