Hi Everyone,
I have a bunch of SA Vanagon parts for sale. Which I smug....er...
IMPORTED from SA. Except where noted, everything is SAVW OEM and
works on US Vanagons.
Everything listed is in Stock, unless (otherwise noted) but my
quantities are limited, and getting this stuff to the USA was SUCH a
hassle that I'm not sure when I'm going to want to put myself through
it again. However, if I get a lot of interest, I would.
Prices DO NOT include shipping which would be JUST the straight UPS
or USPS (your choice) charges.
Leather Steering wheel..........................$295
Really cool looking padded leather. Makes you feel like you're
driving a Porshce....(well, not quite I guess!). Two thick spokes
angle down in an inverted "V". Comes with horn button. Needs no mods
to fit. About same diameter as US power steering wheel 16.75" but is
.75" smaller than US NON PS wheels. (I don't think it really would
make much difference). Comes in Black only.
Extreme Heavy Duty Mud Flaps (set of 4)...........$195
OEM on new SA Vanagons these are super heavy duty. Not like the
flimsy "clip on" flaps VW sells here for $360+ a set. Includes
mounting hardware. (drilling some screw holes is necessary).
Manifold and Exhaust Pipe For Engine conversion........$395
These parts are for a Golf to Vanagon conversion. Brings the exhaust
around to the back of the engine so the US Cat and muffler can be
used. Makes the exhaust system part of the conversion easy. OEM VWSA.
SA Quad Grille kit...........................$275
Grille, emblem, and inner lights.
SA Quad Grille Replacement Lights...............$75 (pair $135)
Replacements for broken INNER lights or for grilles that didn't come
with the OEM lights. Includes mounting "bucket". These are made by
Hella and are Driving beams (not Fog lights). Left or Right is
available. OEM VWSA (does not include grille ;) )
Lower Wrap Around Grille...........................$175
Hella Relays...........................................$15
Hard to get HIGH Quality relays and brackets made by Hella for the
USA. FAR better and longer lasting than the crappy, cheap Radio Shack
and Wal-Mart relays!
Recommended by Hella (and by me and others on the Vanagon list) to
gain more light output from your auxiliary lights AND/OR your Regular
headlights. The best and cheapest way to increase you headlight
brightness. A MUST for high watt bulbs. Will make STOCK lights seem
like they DOUBLED in brightness and whiteness.
Emblems for SA Quad Grille............................$20
These are replacements for the original emblem and are NOT OEM SAVW.
But are made by VW for the US. They are the same but just missing a
very thin black plastic border. (OEM costs $39)
Hi-Level (3rd) Brake Light.............................$75 (sold out)
VWSA accessory light. Fits at the top of the hatch window.
Microbus Emblems.......................................$29
Chrome Plastic emblems with the word "Microbus". Similar in size and
shape to the "Vanagon" emblem on the rear of the US Vanagons. OEM SA
Caravelle Emblems................................................$35
Similar to above. (Caravelle is the Deluxe version of the Microbus
(vanagon) over in SA)
I also have some other misc. goodies (like VWSA OEM wiring harnesses
for the headlights, non-Vanagon emblems, etc) and some other stuff
that I'm not sure how to price nor know if there is interest. So if
you're interested in exotic VW stuff contact me.(Also, if you have
any special interests in items from SA)
Payment can be made by money order, certified check, or PayPal.
You can contact me for further info by email. It would be a good idea
to CC your inquires to my other address as well:
jscohen@aol.com
Or by phone at 212-787-5813
Thanks for you interest!
James
