That's what I don't like about the peen nut. In order for it to work as nice as the clamp nut, you'd have to use a new one every time you change the adjustment. The ones on mine have been peened and un-peened so many times, probably never been replaced, and look like hammered dammit. I bet if there was a nice clamp one easily available for the vanagon we'd have the info. Someone would be selling them on the samba or ebay or at least would have piped up on here by now.
