    Rears are 113-611-057. (22mm)

    I think Jim meant FRONTS are (22mm)

    You might also find that some will not carry this number (113) and have replaced it with (131) for the 65 Bug.

    Just be sure to stay away from : Made in China.

    Hope that helps

    Dietmar is correct about the CHINESE made wheel cyllinders! There cheap, leak even
    when new and the mounting threads will dethread when mounting, so pay a few more dollars for the TRW or genuine German WC's!

    Ut o I had ordered the Dorman ones from rockauto.com...
    Is Dorman the cheap chinese ones your referring to?
    I've read from others on the forums that these cylinders are about $8 a piece however I can't find them for that price.

    Can't comment about what Rock Auto sells.

    Both the TRW and ATE's ( German) can be found through several sources including www.quixoteracing.com. They are 14 for the TRW's and 17 for the ATE's.
    I also believe Jim ( SR RACING) might still have some in stock
    .

    Vee parts have two prices - the ones we use when trying to promote the class, and the ones you actually have to pay when you order them!
