I tried to post this yesterday and it never showed up. Also I noticed no other changes in the board either. Forum malfunction perhaps?
There are 2 main types of seats used on automobiles
ball
cone

Porsche oe wheels use an R13 ball as do VW, & Audi

you need to be careful as there are sizes of ball seats R14 being a common one

here is an R14 next to an R13
