I have been so overwelmed with p-mail regarding my Webasto
parts search I have not been able to get back to everyone.

In leiu of personal thanks please accept this as an
aknowledgment of the tremendous "virtual" comunity we all
reside in.

I had one listee go so far as mail me the factory repair
manual for my heater!

As it turns out Webasto is still in business and some parts
are likely available: http://www.webasto-thermo.com

However new parts for these things require giving up an arm
and a leg, and since I need those to drive I sought alternate
sources.

As it turns out the best source was ww.ebay.de. You can find
complete webasto bbw46 (search words were "webasto bbw")
heaters there for very reasonable prices. If you don't speak
GGerman try http://babelfish.altavista.com/ it will work well
enough to figure out what your buying and also corrispond
with German sellers.

Thank you to everyone who replied you know who you are. You
make me proud to be a small part of this "club".

Thanks,
Chris
