Seriously Ken? Say it ain't so...
This list is about Vanagons including the availability of Vanagon parts,
particularly scarce or NLA parts!!
I rue the day when ANY of our much needed and obviously under appreciated
list vendors are censored by idiots who can't find their delete key.
Please ignore the few and continue to help the many keep their Vanagons tip
top. I'm sure David and BenT know what spam smells like!!

Frank,
We have had them imported from Germany. I just ran out a couple of days
ago but I have more coming next week. If you want one (one per customer
at the moment), please reserve yours now. Half of the ones that are
coming on the next order are already reserved. If you want to do a
larger order, please let me know and I can get more coming just for
you. I am charging $45 each for them which was VWs price when you could
get them.
I would have posted about it to the list but certain members gave me
grief the last time I posted an "NLA parts we are importing" email.
They said it was spam so I decided not to post the most recent list of
parts we were getting. I posted it to my facebook page (Van-Again) and
also to my email mailing list (over 1800 people are on it), but not to
the Vanagon list. I don't want to offend anyone. :-)
Part number is 251971284H in our webstore.
