There is a slit in these lugs so the clamp can pass THRU it. The slit is open on one side so the clamp can just slip in there. On many of the aftermarket bellows this slit is not completely molded in place. You may have to finish the cut at the ends with a knife. I don't have any idea why those lugs are there.... -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
