For me it's a Bus intermittent wiper switch for a 71... I saw one on an eBay auction from Italy about 10 years ago and never seen another one since...

A NOS Champagne edition clock or genuine/era correct VDO 6k RPM Tachometer, several NOS thermostats, etc... That and a local/tallented welder to put on my replacement rocker panels for a reasonable fee. (hint)

I bought German disc brakes for my '69 camper and installed them. The bolt pattern is wide five, but I need a 15 inch wheel to clear the caliper. Bought some Chinese wheels with a specified load rating and plan to buy tires. '71 wheels won't fit the lug nut pattern. Unable to find a VW load rating for the stock 14 inch, drum-brake, wheels. Considering the stock 14" wheel with spacers, but would prefer not to use spacers. At this point I carry two spares, 14' for the rear and 15'' for the front. The spare for the front is mounted on the front bumper. The hubcap on the spare covers the air horns.

Aloha

I'd sure like to find a source for wiper blade refills like had always been easily obtainable until very recent years. It's rediculous having to buy the whole blade assembly when only the rubber insert is needed. Since the rubber deteriorates quickly in our sun, frequently it is shot without having ever used the wipers even once. But hey, we finally did get some rain earlier in the week.

thanks for the reply peaceful warrior

I have 15" wide-five early bus wheels on my camper now and have put about 2000 miles on them last year without problems. But, I really don't think they have the proper load rating for the later bus. I've bought 15" wide-five Chinese wheels from a socal source and they look sturdy and will use them next year and consider buying another two for the rear, but then I would have to buy different chains.

A complete under dash A/C kit and a side tent. Many leads have led nowhere so far. All in due time, I hope.
