FWIW, if you want Jailbars, the only piece that is "Vanagon Only" is the Middle Bracket, that is all you'll really have to buy from VW. the Jailbar tubes can be subsituted w/ regular Aluminum tubing, usually found at your local plumbing/lighting supply or Home center. just cut to fit (BTDT) And the end caps, are EXACTLY the same as was used on the '51-'67 deluxe Microbuses (and '68 up too) and used ones can be had usually pretty cheaply at VW swap meets. so, for a little more than 50, you can have a set. chris |
