Welp, since it's now okay to do this now, I figured I would use the opportunity to introduce you to a few new products that we have on the shelves.

First up are the Syncro speedo drive gears. These are made of aluminum bronze to be both durable and friendly to the worm gear that drives it. Unlike the stock plastic and cheap 3D printed parts, these gears will probably outlast the vehicle.

Next up are a set of Projektzwo style fog lamps. These come in clear and yellow. The lamps are a true fog lamp and while they are probably not as refined as the original Hella lamps, they do produce a nice pattern with plenty of light. They use a standard H3 55 watt bulb.

And lastly, for today, we have a set of rear tail lamp "blenders". These are replicas of the original VW parts that were offered on the later model, higher-end vans. These blenders are made from OE-textured ABS and are really easy to install. The make really clean up the rear of the van between the tail lamps.

Here is a link to all of those products and more.

Thank you for taking a look!

Any replacement bulbs available for the lights?
edit: I should have asked, are replacement lenses available?
I have the original Projektzwo lights and would like a spare set of lenses.
Even better would be LED! The halogen bulbs get pretty hot.

Whew...I thought you had sold the business too!


Great to see those yellow fogs...right after I did mine using old vintage CIBIE "Airport" fogs from the '80s. They fit like they were made for the Projektzwo!

Yours are using the H3 bulb where these are using an H2 bulb. Yours will much easier to get spares for I think.

I think the best new product you have are the Triple Nozzle Washers for the windshield.
I have them on mine and they are a great improvement,
Your price is great too for them!

Speedo gears! Excellent!! Do you recall which color/number is for the 4.86 R&P? Does the R&P gearing even matter??

I purchased a front locker imported from Sweden years back and had the original R&P (5.43 to the best of my memory) replaced with a 4.86 R&P by GTA. I'm currently using the light brown speedo gear it came with (094409181J 8/18 Beige/Brown (color of wood) to the best of my recollection) and it causes my speedometer to show 20% slower than I'm actually going. So, my question is what # teeth is the brown and what color do I need now to show the real speed with my 4.86R&P?

Pulling from another thread by derekdrew......

The map to the available gears as far as I am aware is this:

094409181B 8/19 WHITE (standard for all North America, all of which were 4.86)
094409181C 8/20 BLACK
094409181D 8/21 RED (standard for all South Africa, all of which were 5.43) ALSO MAY BE GREY???
094409181E 9/20
094409181F 9/21 GREY (medium to light grey)
094409181G 9/22
094409181H 7/19 Dark BROWN
094409181J 8/18 Beige/Brown (color of wood)

LOVE them, but I hate it when something comes out that's better than what I already have! LOL

Any new development on front brakes? It's still on my to do list, I still have OEM ones (in good shape)...

Excellent Chris to all this new stuff and the service to the vanagon community.

[Mike Robinson]

Just wondering when the front 2wd anti sway bar will be back in stock.

No hurry, probably an April thing.

Christopher, a rear sway bar would be so awesome...can’t wait.

I’m tempted on the tail light blenders! Ah screw it, I might as well order a set just because.

[jimf909]

p.s. I like these vendor updates threads. They keep me up-to-date on the latest news from Vanagon vendors and support engagement with them as well.
