[T3] Wheel Bearings

[Dave Hall]

Since a lot of places here don't do much specifically for air-cooled VWs, I
usually just get the front wheel bearings for the older VW watercooled rears
('74 to '00 anyway)- at least in the UK, though I doubt it's different for
other markets.  Golf 2 and Golf 3 (Rabbit?) are certainly the same.  The oil
seal won't be included and you may get a few odd bits you don't need.
They're not expensive, even in the UK!

I have them, but it's odd that your FLAPS gave you the wrong ones. 
The inners changed in mid-68, but '73s should be easy. They should be the
same as a '73 Beetle, in case that helps them get you the right part.

Just out of curiosity, what did they cost you?
