There are junkyards in South San Jose that let you dismantle and pick whatever
you need from hundreds of retired/injured cars including VW busses (not vanagons).
They charge significantly lower. I picked up an alternator for my Volvo for
$18 including a voltage regulator mounted on it. It was pure breed volvo
alternator. I saw 4 or 5 busses and at least 1 camper with the pop top
raised up. I saw a pair of air cooled cylinder heads lying on dirt and no one
seemed interested. They are probably for 1600 bugs. I think there are at least
30 may be 50 bugs sitting there waiting for parts seekers. There are still a lot
of useful parts on them. Many good body parts (no rust mostly). If you happen
to be in San Jose go check them out.
