Hi everyone,
Do barndoors run the same thrust release bearing as later VWs?
If not, is there a recommend supplier for these, along with the requisite clutch cables, etc.?
For context, this is for my RHD '54 Standard.
Thank you.

Originally they came with a carbon fiber throw out bearing but it is completely normal to upgrade to the bearing style. Smoother too! The clutch cable for the Barndoor RHD bus is unique in length and I figured it out to be part # 214 721 335 which is 3200mm. It may take some searching for that specific cable.
