OE‑quality reproduction for 1968–1971 Buses Replaces rust‑prone original moustache bar Best paired with new engine rubber mounts NLA for many years, the Rear Engine Hanger—commonly called the “Moustache Bar”—has now been re‑introduced and faithfully recreated from an original factory unit. Fitted to all early Bay Window VW Buses with 1500/1600cc engines from 1968 to 1971 (up to VIN 211 2300 000), this bar supports the rear of the engine and is critical for proper engine alignment and smooth running. The original design tended to trap road debris and moisture, causing internal rust and eventual failure.
