Interesting thing is that the two most recent and several other front and
rear main seals for VW Air Cooled engines have come to me in Peugeot parts
boxes and made by Victor Reiz company.
They were labeled with VW part numbers on white gummed labels.
I'll just bet that NAPA catalogs them under Victor gaskets.
Prices from Bus Depot were $9.45 for big front seal and $4.45 for the
smaller rear seal. (No! I don't recall if that was before or after discount
for list member).
