I just finished hunting down what could be the last one of these on the planet. If it helps you the following don't have them (or didn't when I was looking in mid August 2000): www.bus-boys.com, www.vanagain.com - Ken is out of stock for sure, www.busdepot.com, www.gowesty.com, nor www.vwcalimports.com Some suggestion I didn't try: www.copartfinder.com is a used parts finder search engine. www.fastforward.ca said they've installed Golf Tachs in Vanagons. Or you could always bite the bullet and call the dealer (probably expen$ive but you may luck out). I was told the ETKA part number for the tachometer is 255 919 253 (Good for 1980 to 1984) and for the instrument housing, it is 255 919 053. One from a 1991 recently sold on ebay for $212.26 US at: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=453889685 Good luck, Chris Gronski Toronto, Ontario, '80 Westy "Pokey" '87 Chevrolet Sprint 5-Door '91 Pontiac Firefly Convertible ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Mundy" <cwmundy@OPTUSNET.COM.AU> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Tuesday, October 10, 2000 5:59 PM Subject: Tacho Cluster and Parts required for 89 Vanagon urgent ( Caravelle GL - Australia)
