I was digging through a container full of screws and ran across this one. I immediately recognized it as the set screw for the transmission coupler on a VW.

I have said that I know every nut and bolt on my bug. I was pretty proud of myself for knowing that.

Have you been able to recognize a VW part out of context as well?

They look like engine case dowel pins. The ones that align the two case halves.

Our local Vintage VW club of America used to have a Dinner before the Kelly Park show each year. There was a contest after the club business was completed that always had a few VW parts that were asked to be identified, it was a blast.

Late 50s Chevy hot rod truck. The VW bits were obvious to me.
