George -

Actually, there were/are 3 manufacturers of the Hall Control Unit mounted
on the side firewall: Fairchild, Telefunken & Bosch.  And all three are
interchangeable.

Old VW Numbers
211905351B
211905351D

Current replacement from VW is 191905351B.  The replacement has a heat sink
attached to the back side of it for better heat dissapation when attached
to the existing finned heat sink, so be sure to use longer sheet metal
screws when attaching it.  I have one of these on my 84 Westy - works fine.

Ron at Bus Depot should be able to fix you up with either the old or new
style at a reasonable cost.  Sometimes you can't depend on the FLAPS to
keep from getting a generic "taiwan" made replacement.
