I use gee bees. I tried an aftermarket rubber one and it started breaking down after a few years.
For me it’s not worth the time to find an original vw stamped part when a better part is easily available.

The part Airhead shows with the struck-out V oval logo is the same as what most people sell now. I get them from Pacific and haven’t had any problems with half a dozen of them in the last few years.

he only sells the kit last i heard. I don't think that tee was ever one he made.
That said, if you do get a hold of him, he has zero tolerance for wasting time answering questions. You tell him what you want, ask how much and where to send the money. Start asking more questions and he will probably hang up on you. He values time as money so if someone is going to spend 10 minutes asking questions, to him that is 10 minutes he can't work on something else. That is mostly why he stopped selling to the bay community. He also sees time spent shipping as unbillable time, so he waits until he has enough orders to justify the time spent shipping. It may take 3 weeks to get something because he is too busy to ship.

GeeBee did make that T later on, as well as T1 sump gaskets, T4 carbureted intake gaskets, and a oil breather gasket.
From the time I talked to him, he was very much interested in telling me about the airplanes he flew and where, never seemed to want to answer my VW questions.

Thanks Robbie. I spoke with him a couple times. He was really easy to deal with but I've known a lot of business people like him, and time is money so if the customer is easy to deal with they do business. If the customer asks too much, wants to chat, the business guy will run. He told me the biggest turn off for him for selling to the VW crowd is that people expected him to be like a retailer where UPS or FedEx come by daily. He said he usually has to make time to box things then drive to drop them off, and for one item it isn't worth his time so he liked to wait until he had four or five orders. People would say Ok but then start calling in like three days where are my parts. I told him it gets here when it gets here, I am busy too. So he always sold to me whatever I needed even if it was something he didn't list as individual. I liked the guy. His work was outstanding. But because he does a lot of stuff for aviation he has all that paperwork and testing etc., he has to meet and I think he got in trouble a couple times for selling things that were not FAA approved - although they were probably better than anything the FAA approved. A FAA inspector approved a spark plug repair on a Piper that killed a housemate of mine in the late 1980's. Really tragic situation. Plug popped out right after take off, started a fire and before they could get back around to the ground that was all she wrote. He was in the front seat and burned to death on the way down. The tail broke off on impact and the pilot's kid in the back seat survived to tell the whole story. Both Kevin and the pilot died. Anyway I am rambling, but the guy makes really good products if he is still selling them.
