Link Pin Spindle Question? Hi Guys Dose Anyone know what year VW changed the Link Pin Spindles? the early spindles are about one inch longer then the later one but I dont know the year they changed them, splits and ovals had the longer ones but I dont know if 58,59,60's are long or short, I know 61 to 64 are the shorter ones anyone know for sure?  when using BRM's on an early spindle the front cap dont fit  some guys leave the grease caps off and I have seen a square hole put in the BRM Cap for the Speedo Cable .
