"If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no point in being a damn fool about it."

I found NOS FAG bearings made in Germany...the last piece of the puzzle for the transmission rebuild.  The FAG bearings made in other countries are still around and widely available but I wanted to be an irritating purist and use only the German bearings.  So I found a pair in....yep....Germany.  I had to wait three weeks for them to arrive but they're now here and ready for the last part of their trip to California.

In addition to these bearings, I received a NOS pair of front drums for 64-65 Type 3, a NOS generator strap (I don't think I've ever seen one before today), a second fan shroud gasket and a sunroof clip for a fellow Type 3 owner.  Not much in the box but it was still nice to see it sitting in the foyer when I got home.
