RE: [T3] Front end bushings and bearing


Thanks Martin!  If the Bearing and bushing guys don't have a listing for
those old FAG numbers There is nothing like actual dimensions.

Later 66 and up bushings are bronze with a Teflon coating, pressed into a
Bakelite bushing that is pressed into the tube.  However, I just harvested
an early beam (65 or earlier with integral safety tabs) that didn't have ANY
bushings on the lower Bakelite bushings, I know the early beams were
different at least on the bottoms but I will hold off on any conclusions
till I cut the old Notch beam which is a 65.

I have the size specs for the bearings here:


Needle bearing for upper torsion arm
standard size 44.0 mm O dia. [1.7322 in]

Oversize
44.2 mm Odia [1.7400 in]



Needle bearing for lower arm:
Standard size 50.0mm  Odia [1.9685 in ]

Oversize
50.2mm O dia  [1.9763 in]

Also my reference book states mthe bushings are metal sleves not fibers 
ones.



PS....I just bought 18 volumes of VW factory books...The t3 stuff it lists 
is awesome!
Also a ton of NOS tune-parts
VW tools all with wooden boxes and VW part numbers
Two complete gas heater books and another FI tester!

More to come
