Anyone know where I can get these and not pay an arm and a leg for shipping? I was all set to order them from Van Cafe until I got to checkout and they were going to charge me $13 to send them by UPS. I mean they would fit into an envelope! Bus Depot does not list them but I'm in AZ and parts take forever to come from PA.

Top Outside Adjuster Assembly: http://www.airheadparts.com/vintage-vw-parts/vanagon-headlight-adjusters/low-beam-adjuster-assy-top-outside-255941141-c A few years back I pushed through the project to have all of the adjusters to be reproduced by Airhead/VWG because.Volkswagen started obsoleting them and have been very popular with the Vanagon crowd.  In addition to retail sales, they provide them to the well-known Vanagon parts vendors.  Even the dealer 2 blocks down the street buys them. In addition to Van Cafe, I take several tech calls a week involving these adjuster pieces. As far as used pieces are concerned, forget it.  It's not so much they've been cannibalized, the nylon piece(s) have become so brittle with age they become worthless trash. -- Jim Thompson 84 GL 1.9 "Gloria" 84 Westfalia 2.1 "Ole Putt" 72 411 Station Wagon "Pug" 75 914 1.8 "Nancy" Full Timing From March 1999 To January 2012 oldvolkshome@gmail.com http://www.oldvolkshome.com Find me on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/people/Jim-Thompson/100000710343835 *********************************** On Sun, Sep 8, 2013 at 3:01 PM, David M <covrambles@yahoo.com> wrote: > Totaly confused by the terminology on the Van Cafe site.
