[tech]: upper strut bearings/rebuildable

[ralexander03@snet.net (Rick Alexander)]

Michael,

What makes them different is that they are rebuildable. You can either put
in OE rubber or Urethane or even Delran (if you can get someone to machine
it for you).  I'm giving both of mine Urethane dasher mounts at their next
change. To score a set search the junk yards. Unsubstantiated scuttlebutt
has it that the Super Beetle is exactly the same as the Dasher mount. Anyone
on the list know for sure?
