VW and Porsche Engines do NOT have provisions to attach a starter directly to the engine. This means you cannot troubleshoot your engine on a stand or bench without this adapter.
Zalex manufacturers two adapter styles, the full ring and half ring. The full ring is best for universal V8 style stands. The half ring is best if you already have a VW/Porsche style yoke or if you want to crank your engine on a bench or ground.
