Wow Ron! How do you do that? 

Not thinking I could just order from Busdepot, I looked for one pretty much all over North America and Europe. Finally bought one for Eur 50 from a dealer with a few left in Saarbruecken on the border to France.

B.t.w. German (and European) VW dealers are just as much a dead end for parts to our beloved Westies and Vanagons as north american ones. I even feel that they profile me when entering the dealership based on my ride, looks or clothing and don't even want to talk to me. The Saarbruecken dealer had a sales rep who had lived in Edmonton so he was luckily more talkative.
