Hey, The gas tanks 85L were imported from South Africa to Germany until one time Winkler in Herne, Germany, found out, that this tanks were built in Germany, too. Pricing: The standard 60L will cost DM 650.00, for the 85L Winkler asks DM 950.00, but includes the needed mountings. The 85L does NOT fit the stock location, its extends about 20cm to the rear. The rear wall behind the stock tank has to be removed and a cross bar (within the delivery) has to be mounted. The longer rails below the tank are stock VW and also included in Winkler's offer.
