I assume you checked Frank Condelli
http://www.frankcondelli.com/mechanic.htm and the skylight guy:
http://vanagonwestfaliaparts.com/  I don't see anything listed but
maybe they can get for you?

Are you looking for just the wiring/relay etc. ? Or this type of kit:

http://www.gowesty.com/ec_view_details.php?id=23681&category_id=&category_parent_id=

That bundle looks like good value but if one had time etc., with the
exception of the battery hold down bracket, it wouldn't be hard to
source the same or similar parts locally. I live in Vancouver BC. I
found that type of battery locally and used it in my '81. It was fine
for low draw things (sink pump, occasional OEM light use.... that
stock Halogen draws a lot!) until I managed to burn a hole in it with
an errant soldering iron. No, don't ask.   ;)    I upgraded to a
standard group 41 "starter" type battery. It has worked fine for LED,
sink pump, occasional radio use.
