I've been battling to get KS main bearings for type 1 the last while. Does anyone whow who still stocks them.
I'm in need to 40 crank, 40 case, no thrust main bearings. I'm a bit sceptical to use the aluminium main bearings now available (I think the brand is sintemetal)
Where to buy KS beetle main bearings??

Re: Where to buy KS beetle main bearings??
Hi
I use a lot of sintermetals and find them to work great
My opinion is that they will be kinder to the case in performance aplications as the bearing will give before the case. the early 1200 series engines all had alu bearings
I have a set of ks in 60 od and 40 id but no 40 40 im afraid
