Since no one is replying yet: I had to switch to '66 bearing caps when changing from long to short axles on my '68 Beetle. However, I was using '68 backing plates...so it might depend on whether your '67 long axle had 5-bolt '67 backing plates or 4-bolt '67 backing plates (depending on country of origin)...
