Sorry for the minor hijack but.... Links to images below show two sealed pilot bearings I was considering using on my KEP "Rabbit" flywheel (similar to diesel Vanagon) http://tinyurl.com/p5md7wq http://tinyurl.com/q98d622 Both were sealed type IIRC. Sorry. No part numbers, and I don't recall if shorter PB was for an Audi Fox or Diesel Vanagon, but they both fit transmission input shaft. Is the 12 mm long pilot bearing useable in a Vanagon gas flywheel even if pilot bearing hole in flywheel left as-is? Neil. On 4/17/14, mark drillock <mdrillock@cox.net> wrote:
