I have 100+ of them in a cardboard box here in the shop. I use about 5 a year for various projects and customer vans.
Used one just the other day… cut a 3” segment out of one the other day to splice some fuel hose. Perfect fit!
Cheers,
Jeff

Lol, when I read that I thought " Wow, $40.00 each used? I've thrown away a few hundred dollars worth over years the years"

John, I have used ones in stock. I usually sell them for $40 each plus shipping them to you via priority mail shipping which is an additional $7 for as many as you may need. There some aftermarket ones listed out there but all of them I have purchased have been a different length than the stock waterboxer push rods. Just found out that they are the correct length for some of the aircooled Vanagon 2.0l engine, even though I thought those were the same as the bus AC push rods (live and learn).
Let me know if I can help you further.
Ken
