Belly Pan Gasket, 19 Foot, for All Years Beetle & Manx Style

EMPI Belly Pan Gasket for VW Beetle and Manx Style

Vehicle Fitment and Compatibility

This 19-foot custom molded rubber gasket is designed to create a water-tight seal between the vehicle body and the chassis. It is compatible with all years of the VW Beetle, the Super Beetle, and Meyers Manx or Manx-style fiberglass dune buggies. This gasket replaces OEM number 113-701-605 and provides the necessary thickness to prevent metal-to-metal contact.

Pro Tech Tips for Installation

Clean the Sealing Surfaces: Before laying down the new gasket, use a wire brush or solvent to remove all old rubber remnants, adhesive, and rust from the chassis rail. A clean surface is essential to ensure the molded rubber creates a proper seal against moisture and road debris.

Avoid Pre-Cutting the Material: Lay the full 19-foot length around the perimeter of the pan before trimming. Do not cut the excess until the body is fully positioned. This prevents gaps that can occur if the rubber stretches or shifts during the bolt-down process.

Use Alignment Studs: Place long alignment studs or headless bolts into several mounting holes around the pan rail. This technique keeps the gasket centered and prevents it from sliding out of position while lowering the heavy body onto the chassis.
