Ruffles what feathers, Lyle? This was the first time I've seen a post from
you. If you can make the parts, by all means do so. Many of us have used
non-OEM and self-fabricated parts to our personal satisfaction. There is a
greater number who insist on stock parts from the country of origin. There's
room for everybody. I happen to have a complete 84 which I am parting out.
Perfect year for whatever Scott is looking for. Since it's complete, I
figured it did not matter what it was he was looking for, I would likely
have it. Let's face it, how much could such a part cost used? Probably less
than making or even mailing one.

I just got part from VW today for the shiftrod/cable ends on my 89 autotrans
conversion project. Cost me $12 even with a good buddy discount. I'm taking
it to Home Depot because I now know this bellowed piece of rubber tube is
nothing more than that. Probably a few bucks each.
