Maybe I have both and grabbed the wrong one to try on the front wheel!


I doubt it though, I honestly think these are the original flat caps for the
late beetle, the diameter didn't seem correct for the hub even if the grease
cap wasn't in the way.  I'll have a look when I get another chance and the
monsoons abate.


Thanks for all the information and part numbering.


Joe

How the woman who sold Joe the earlier style of hubcap got on them the
front, I'll never know.  My 84 GL, when I bought it had "311" Caps in the
rear and "251" Caps on the front.  How's that for confusion for the person
who would not know?
