Anyone know a source for door check rod rubber? Items 21 (dampener) & 22 (rubber buffer)

21 is a piece of leather if I'm not mistaken. Thick, maybe 1/8" with a slot in the middle. You can make that, find a leather supply/craft place, or use an old belt... Don't know of a source for the other part Bill...

VW Veteranen Service has both parts in their catalog.

I went to the web site, only price list but no description am I missing something? Or does that mean I have to pay almost $30.00 US for the catalog?

Thanks for the info John. Think I will make them up as suggested. the leather is easy enough and the rubber stopper shouldn't be too tough. I might even have one sitting around in a box. Do you have a rough estimate of size?

The rubber piece is the same up to 64.

on my zwitter i used a urethane bushing that prothane makes for #22
it was almost perfect match but it is a little firmer
