I fully support the use of our List vendors but when speed matters for parts like these there may be another option in your area.  When in need I go to  one of several Vanagon savy repair shops in my locale, all of them are willing to sell parts from their inventory kept on hand for customer vehicles.  If your area has a shop that works on Vanagons it may be willing to do the same.  Most shops stock basic service parts for the vehicles they work on and a shop that services Vanagons will do the same and know to keep quailty parts on hand.  Being in Alaska this works especially well for me as it eliminates both the added shipping delay and freight charges.
