When I called Darrell to apologetically ask him about it because some of you seemed to think it was likely to have been overlooked (I didn't think so), I think I said ".... retainer ring for the pilot bearing felt seal." He said, "Do you mean that little metal ring that holds the felt 'warsher' in place?" I said, "yes." Darrell said, "Oh, I squirrel away 'ever' one I run across when I part out VWs, because they aren't available. But yours was in there and in good shape, I just reused it." Darrell is great, and if you are ever in Oklahoma and need mechanical help with your VW, make sure you get hold of him. No web page, no email, phone number for Darrell's Hobby Shop: 405-473-6959. But he is a one man shop and busy, besides being out in the sticks and hard to find. Once you do find him, you are likely to have to wait. mcneely |
