Seems too cheap. Even off-the-shelf wheel bearings are $5-8 each, although I don't know what kind of price I might get if I bought 50 of them. To tool up to make a real needle bearing sounds pretty costly, but I've never investigated this. It makes me wonder if he meant $200 each, if someone bought 50. If this is really $200 for 50 and we need two sizes (upper and lower) then I'd think that for $400 we could get a lifetime supply for everybody. I'd almost be willing to make that investment, with the understanding that I'd be selling them for more than the straight $4 price. $10 would still be a bargain and $15 would be in line with common bearings of similar sizes. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
