This is a Friday joke right? Who in their right mind would pay $4350 Canadian for a spare tire carrier!?!?!?! I only paid $650 more for my mint 1980 Westy. Do you see from your pricing that you're effectively charging $420 US for the vinyl cover?

Vanagon Rear Spare Tire Carrier Complete with all of the above listed parts: $4350 CAD $3000 USD As above less the spare tire cover (251 867 077 4FB) $3750 CAD $2580 USD

It would be cheaper if you got a flat to have the spare air lifted to you by helicopter, several times over.... You added an extra zero by accident right? A turnkey 105hp 1.8L Digifant II engine swap is cheaper (http://www.fastforward.ca/vanagonswap/default.htm).
