Yes, up thru 67 takes a 10mm lock nut. 68-on takes a 12mm lock nut. The 
thing to look for on the parts list is the lock nut.

I have one of each of the parts that VW sells for aircooled cars. 

One is a 111 part which uses no retaining rings

and the other is a 113 part which uses a large steel snap ring and a small 
rubber band. This is the only part shown on the type 3 parts list.

Both have holes which are significantly smaller than the ones I have taken off 
late tie rod ends.

I have one of each, maybe some others from WCM, because I'm sure that I 
also bought from them to see what I got.
