This crank hole rubber is a specific component for a Citroën DS produced around the mid nineteen sixties. The rubber provides a neat and stable passage for the starting crank through the body opening. It limits friction between metal and crank and reduces play in the opening. The rubber seals the gap against dirt and water and supports protection of nearby parts. Due to its shape it fits in the designated recess. The material supports the service life of the crank system and helps prevent unwanted movement and noise during operation of the starting crank.
