[T3] clamp nut for front wheel bearing

[Bryon Garvin]

Hi Jim,

No.  Now it appears that the shop was right and whoever did the work before
I got the car was the one that did it wrong.  I changed the bearings and put
the clamp nuts back on the way I found them.  When I got the alignment, the
shop changed it.  So they were right all along and I just got a little
confused when we first started talking because both sides were "flat".  Just
that one was machined and one was forged.  I'm sorry I misunderstood, but
now I get it.

So, in a nutshell:  I got the car with them on backwards, did my own work,
put them back on backwards again (not knowing) and the VW shop straightened
them out.

Thanks for the help,

 - Bryon, '71 Fastback
