Yes.  I have original-equipment ones on my Bargains page for $149.95, part
number 253 260 403.  Incidentally, there were two different ones used. Some
had a section of fins, then a gap, then another section of fins.  Others (on
older vans, I think) were all one solid unit.  Not sure how easily they
interchange; my recollection is that the hose inlets are in slightly
different places.  In any event, the ones I have on special are the version
with the gap between the two sections of fins.
