Anyone knows the part numbers of the needle bearings for use in the upper and lower positions on a 73 type 3 square.

Thanks for any help

Nope, not right off hand. You could check the parts book though. Keep in mind that new bearings are NLA, and have been for quite a while now.

Here you go.

https://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/manuals/type3_parts_book/

I'm not entirely sure what years it covers.

Here's a pretty big thread on two iterations of my beam rebuilt:

https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=461581

The first attempt lasted from 2011 to the end of 2015.

Starting on page 4 of the above thread is my search for better bushings and bearings. With success I might add. Cool

Max

Hi Richie, I think I have some NOS lower needle bearings and some good used upper ones.
