I don't know...both of mine came with 'em.

I didn't mention the sequel...P/S didn't work right after replacing the hoses, so I didn't drive three hours into Connecticut on a whim to go to the Litchfield Bug In in the middle of the night, so three days later my throttle cable failed a mile from home instead of fifty, and in a nasty double-merge highway entrance overpass that quite improbably has a twelve-foot-wide shoulder. Very tricky, these VGAs...favorite trick has been to fail something obnoxious and irritating, forcing me to go and look where six inches away something disastrous is getting ready to happen.

And the steering problem cleared itself in a few days...apparently some grit got in somewhere that didn't get flushed out? Dunno - I was careful, and all the pipe cuts were downstream of the rack. Ask the VGA(TM).

Best, David
