The ones I got from WCM a few years ago were obviously too small 
where the stud went through, although the rest of the shape was fine. 
That was a while back so maybe they have investigated the problem and 
gotten it fixed. When I tried to order them from VW I got the same 
(wrong) parts, so I just gave up. 

WCM just buys most of their items like this throught the VWoA 
distribution network so they are at the mercy of VWoA here. I know 
that they buy some stuff in Europe, so I wouldn't be surprised if 
they figured out that they had a problem and went farther up the 
distribution chain to fix it, or maybe (?!?) they got VWoA to fix it.

The tie rod ends got larger studs in 68, but the English language 
microfilm I have only lists one boot: 113 415 835. I should check the 
price list to see if a suffixed version is listed.

Does WCM list 2 versions now?
