Volks, here's the up-to-date story on the  Vanagon headlight adjusters.  I
just now got off the phone with my parts  man at CitiWest VW here in Ottawa.
 He checked the VW parts system and  below is what is and is not available
and their Canadian dollar prices.   SO, they are NOT ALL OBS.  What this
means is we have the opportunity to  get what we can NOW and put them aside.  I
have ordered a small stock,  finances are not permitting me to take all
that's in the system.  NOW if  you notice the 255 941 141B at $6.60 are the
cheapest ones and there was  only 10 left in the system, I took them all !  Now
what that means is  this, by using them or the next cheapest ones, you can
remove the cap  clip that sits on the round head of the adjuster, the part
that clips in  the headlight lenses, that usually is the only part that
breaks, so you can fix  the majority of the problematic ones by doing this, for
awhile a least.   Hope this helps some of you.
