The Volkswagen Split Bus is equipped with a removable rear panel, which makes it very easy to remove the engine.
This rear panel is mounted with 4 bolts on corner pieces that are attached to the chassis, which are called rear valence brackets.
If years of exposure to the elements have resulted in rust, replacement is the only option to properly reattach the rear valance.
For models up to 7.1967, it is only a single corner, and for models from 8.1967 to 7.1971, it consists of two parts per side, the supporting corner with the sheet metal on the left.
