Hi guys,
Im looking for this part and cant find it anywhere in South Africa, i have contacted VW Heritage and they are out of stock.
Do you guys have any suggestions on replacing it or maybe a better alternative that will work?
Thanks
Robin

Not sure what’s in stock, but stateside it’s usually readily available
http://www.busdepot.com/211843368
Part number. 211843368
A generic Google search of the part number came up with sources worldwide. I haven’t heard of any varying quality with this part from one place to the next _________________ Rebuild your own FI Harness..My Harness

I also have an extra one I could send you. Now that I have moved to a pickup I no longer need the slider door hardware. _________________ John

Back in the early '80s I needed one but could not find one. So I cut the end off a plastic handled screw driver and made my own. It wasn't pretty but it sure worked fine. |
