Call Vee parts in San Diego. They have the rebuild kits for $14.95 and *new* slave cylinders for $69.95. I just got off of the phone with them and they said they would be happy to ship it.

In general, these guys can be a little gruff on the phone, but they have by far the best prices on VW stuff, and they stock a lot of hard to find parts. For example, they had a large selection of main and air correction jets for the dual solexes that came in 72-74 busses, as well as rebuild kits for same for $13.95. They also had a new master cylinder for my bus for about $40 when Auto Parts Club wanted $100 and the FLAPS places were even higher.

I have done lots of business with Vee Parts and they have never let me down.
