Kurt,
I just saw your post. Sorry for you still fighting the broken evaporator
housing. I called my VW dealer (Central VW) and found the part #:
200298141 for the repair kit. But the bad news is the kit is no longer
available. At time (2 years ago) they gave me these metal brackets, I saw
at least 10 of them. But they just sold every brackets they have. Your VW
dealer can try to locate a pair for you from other VW dealers since you
have the part number now. Hopefully other list members can check with
their VW dealer that somebody may still have some left in their parts bin.
Or you can try to make one by yourself.
Good luck,
Yi-Ruey Wei

Hi,
After a week of calling VWOA and my local dealer for more info on those
brackets to repair for those pesky (3) bolt holes on the (2) side of that
heavy evap on the 87 and prior vanagons here's what I found out. Nothing,
Zilch, Zero. No one knew what I was talking about. I showed the dealer
all
the notes I had taken from all you folks (thanks for the help:) . The
dealer
looked up tech advisories and the such. No joy.
If anyone has part# or the phone# of the dealer who helped them please
E-MAIL
me and or call COASTAL AUTOHAUS (my VW dealer here in Corpus Christi, TX.)
at
(512)
991-5555 and ask for Dan McCanlies.
Trying not to beat a dead horse,
