QUOTE(jea69 @ Mar 30 2010, 10:59 AM)  hello, my front wheel bearings are going south, someone told me that they are the same as vw 411/412,is this correct? i have a vw dealer nereby , but no porsche dealer within miles... the snow is going so must hit the road (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) btw it is a stock 1970 1,7 IIRC - they are the same, but still check the 914 PET for the `70 -4 part no. (down-loadable for free from the Porsche/PAG website in the Classics section), then cross check part no. with the VW p/n for the 411/412 from the VW dealer to be sure - as you may avoid the Porsche part/dealer up-charge BS at VW. A VW dealer will probably need to back order them anyway, but it's worth a call to price check vs. the on-line 914 parts sources below, which you can Google the p/n, as well as directly checking at those below. Also PMB, PP, AA, Pelican, Sierra Madre Collection, TC'sGarage, etc. can get them for you online & delivered to your door! FAG is OEM & among the best of them, but steer clear of cheapo repos that were not OEM/OES for bearings to VW-Posche back in the 70's. Inner & outer Fronts, & Rear are all still available. BTW - the calipers on the 914-'s are also 411/412 parts, but most rebuilds out there are not as good as those done by Eric Shea at PMB - a vendor member on this website. I have no idea how that compares to international shipping, duties, etc. to Norway. Skoal! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |
