Never seen a re-pop, but every North American bus from 75-79 had one and they're pretty indestructible. Try the wreckers like Ken@Busco or Busted Bus. _________________ 1978 Transporter 2.0 FI, BA6

Ah, so it wasn't an FI part. It must have come with the later fuel filler. _________________ 1978 Transporter 2.0 FI, BA6

Thanks all. I reached out to both ads on the Samba, we'll see who gets back to me. The one in Asheville is probably the way to go since I'm local to NC.

I think it was to access the fuel filler neck. _________________ Joey
