Itinerant Air-Cooled

Cheaper than Lobros by almost $30. Are the mahles junk?

I'm guessing they're Meyle, not Mahle.

They claim to design and manufacture their own products, but I think they resell a lot of stuff too. Are they any good? I dunno.....

Here's the piston Mahle....

I couldn't find any info on Samba about the joints, but here's a common theme about the boots: (Meyle)

My Meyle boots lasted a whopping 500 miles before they split and threw new CV grease all over my Westy. I got a set of EMPI boots from GW which have lasted another 15k . So far so good.

Get the Lobro's Neal and eat beans for a week. You trust your bus too much for science projects.

$86.50 a pop for the Lobro kit. Ouch. That's an investment alright, but should be good for another 30, 40 years, eh?

Buy a half shaft with Lobros in the classifieds for cheap money and just repack them for even cheaper money.
