The knobs from a contemporary Jetta/Golf are very similar except the Jetta
has round cable ends.
Vanagons are straight ends. If you can make a nice round ends on your
cables, you can use the
A3 Jetta stuff. I was experimenting with these a year ago. I just couldn't
make those perfect round
ends. Maybe one of these days. Right now I'm busy trying to install a DPD AC
(llike  Behr only
easier to install). These were dealered installed in dash AC's just like the
Behrs.

Does anyone have a link to that web page what has pictures of a blue

I don't have the link handy but all the 5-cyl SA vans routed their exhausts
that way. Even the Overland
Eurospec 5-cyl kit ran exhaust the same way. Supposed to sounds better.
