Question Unanswered: Wheel Bearing Part Numbers

Does anyone know the Opel part numbers for a front wheel bearing kit for a '73 GT? E-bay has a couple of sets up for auction (auction #s 4630756435 and 4630756023) that are Vorderrad-Lager part #s 328-02 and 328-05 (that's the numbers on the boxes), and I thought about bidding for them, if they're the right parts, and if the price doesn't go too high. Right now they're at 34.95 (+ shipping).
I've looked aroud in the forums and in the interchange guides (althought I don't know exactly what the numbers in it mean), and can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

Wheel Bearings

Randy,

May want to try Partsamerica, they have some good prices and a few choices. Here is the link:

You know they are going to fit. Remember you need an inner and outer bearing set for each wheel.

Bob

Those bearings on eBay are for the early Opels. The 32805 set is for a 59-62 Olympia-Rekord models. I couldn't find the other #'s, but they are definitely early style too. They WILL NOT fit any late 60-75 Opels.

As stated, the front wheel bearings are available at any local auto parts store. They are a common BCA A1 & A4 bearing used on many cars including my 66 Mustang. The seal also needed is #1174.

Thumbs up

Thanks Bob! Thanks Tom! I'm glad to see bearings are relatively cheap and available. I'm also glad I didn't bid on bearings I couldn't use. This site is a gold mine of info and brain cells.
