Yes, I realise this isn't Vanagon related, but it is
the Vanagon's big brother we're talking about  so it's all in the
family and I am *stuck*  :-(

I am rebuilding the rear
differential for my 1993 VW LT 4x4 - I have all bearings and seals except
for two of them... of course VW Canada / VW USA can't get 291 prefix parts
and BC Bearing here in town can't cross reference these bearings from
their size.

On the differential housing is:

HURTH
AXLE
MOD NO 103 A 59
Serial Number R29778 91
HURTH AXLE
38002 ARCO (TRENTO) ITALY

It seems that since this was built,
Hurth and Clarke Axle merges and then Dana bought the lot up... Dana had,
or at least the people I was speaking to, had no idea what the heck this
axle is or where to get parts.

The part numbers are

291-525-193-B
 291-525-193-A

These are the bearing that are on either
side of the differential - ETKA illustration 58-40 for the 1993 VW LT
4x4

The list has helped me out of tight spots before and I
really look forward to any leads that anyone can get me.
