which release bearing? | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

I have a 1970 1.6 engine and clutch. Registered 1/8 1970.

Which release bearing do I need of these - 2 or 3:

I'm wondering whether I've been sent the wrong one.

thanks

Number 2......

I made exactly the same mistake when I rebuilt mine, had to drop the engine last week to rectify.....

Pics here, make sure you have the matching pressure plate....The one shown fitted in my pic is incorrect and has since been swapped out....

Fortunately GSF swapped everything out for me

The correct part is on its way for swapping tomorrow thanks to the good folk at VW Heritage. Good customer service.
