I'm doing some work on my teen and finding that my usual sources don't have nearly the selection of parts available anymore.

I've used Pelican and Atlanta a lot in the past.

New body and trim pieces seem to be disappearing.

I was trying to locate a new steering column bushing for my 75, they aren't available through either of the fore mentioned sites.

Can anyone suggest other sites for new teen parts?

Ebay has upper and lower bearing package for about $59 dollars with free shipping. Most places get $60 just for the upper. Let me get back to you.

Found it. Ebay item: 252019252917 Genuine German Bearings!!!!

I imagine you know this but...
Find out the part numbers, any starting with 111, 113, 141, 211, 411 412 are common VW parts and you do have CIP1(dot)ca just across the strait in Van.

Thanks guys!

Engine mechanical and bearing tend to be shared with other makes and models, but I'm finding 914 specific parts are getting scarce.
