002 3rd/4th sliders options
Posted: Tue Nov 14, 2017 12:08 am
Hi guys,
For a few years now I've been buying new 002 3rd/4th sliders from VW classic parts, however yesterday I was informed these are no more and are now obsolete. As most boxes I rebuild need new sliders this is quite worrying. I can still but 113 sliders and hub as a complete unit but these are 3 times the price.
Now 091 sliders are still available but obviously the key groove is wider. I have assembled one with type 1 keys and on the bench and it appears to work. I was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on using an 091 slider in an 002 application? I did consider having some special keys made?
Cheers John
