In Vancouver, the long bolt is NLA according to my Vanagon parts guy. Dealer did not have. I think he said it was NLA too. Dealer would have to order nuts.

Nut and washer for bolt still available.

A UK site showing long bolt: (they also show the eccentric washers, but out of stock):

A German site showing the long bolt:

I can't verify accuracy of all this, but it seems that if needed, the parts had be found overseas.

As many have done I'm sure, I'll be re using the long bolts and washers. I'll replace the nuts with new.

Neil.
