Hi Karl...
sure, I suppose somewhere somebody must make that metal ring that goes in
the flywheel that holds the felt pilot brg seal.
somebody somewhere, but I have not found them.
When you find them, let me know, and I'll buy 20 of the little suckers.

as near as I have been able to  find out, it is not a part supplied by VW or
anyone.
I'd be glad to be wrong about that though.

Scott
