BBT Napoleon Hat Center Chassis Support for VW Type 1 1946-1977, Karmann Ghia 1956-1974 and Convertible 1958-1970

The center chassis support, known as the Napoleon hat for its shape, is a structural part of the pan that also carries the mounting hole for the brake master cylinder. Corrosion here affects both chassis strength and the brake installation, and this BBT panel replaces the original.
