Jim,

The pump kit can be found here.

http://www.oeveedub.com/vw/vanagon-steering.html

Frank Condelli posted the name of this outfit just a bit earlier in
reference to a front heater core. I was looking the website over and
found the overhaul kit. I'm going to order it myself and give it a go.
$11.99 vs $300 or $400 is enough difference to get me to gamble the $12
bucks.

If you get one please photo your repair - as will I - so we can have a
visual record of what to do. For what they are - the price of these
pumps is getting to be outlandish.
