Last time I bought a new set, there were various quality ones, german the best of course but matching up the new springs with the DIAMETER and size of the old ones is the clue. There are some sets with springs that are obviously the wrong spring rate.

I've got more rusty, but fine ones here, but if there's a source for new ones, that would be a good thing to know. I looked them up on the microfilm; they are both 311 numbers from the very early years on, but it's possible that late beetles used the same ones. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
