I've never seen the silver ones... Do you have part numbers for them, and do they fit the earlier models? What year did VW start using the silver ones? >Those bearings were quite a find!

The seals I removed are actually V-shaped in cross section with the VW part number on them, It seems that an O-ring wouldn't be thick enough, is that what you have used? If so, what thickness O-ring did you use? Thanks for the info!
