About this product

The part is built to the following specification: Fitting Position: Front Left, Fitting Position: I, Cone Size [mm]: Silicone, Copper mm, only in connection with: 2 x M12, Thread Size 1: MM14X1, 5R. Each dimension is checked against the OEM reference to ensure the component seats and functions correctly first time.
