Title: Bearing caps...?? Post by: Kaferdog on November 07, 2010, 06:31:29 am Ok ..I'm clear on the short axles & tubes ...But not clear on the bearing cap's ...?? I know there are 3 different bearing caps short axles /short splines...Long axles /Short splines.....long axles/Long splines .... Now are there only those 3 caps....?? Which caps do I need...? I have seen the tech article posted but I'm still confused...??

But here is a link to some Samba Action in the meantime http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/archive/index.php/o-t--t-406753--.html (http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/archive/index.php/o-t--t-406753--.html)

Post by: Kaferdog on November 10, 2010, 18:27:47 pm OK I've answered my own question here !...I did some checking and came up with this conclusion that you "CAN" use the caps off a 67 shortspline/long axle it's the same as the early short axle caps the only difference is the oil slinger style ....I also confirmed this thru the expertise at Oldspeed
