<< Steering  coupling / universal >>
    Keith, I just got one this week from the Volkswagen dealer here in
Carleton Place.  That's just west of Ottawa.  It had to come from the US.
When he ordered it on Monday it was found not in stock in Canada and got back
ordered from the US.  The VW list price was $195.65. They let me have it for
$160.00 when I went to pick it up on Thursday.  I tried all sorts of way to
repair my original one and ended up wasting three days going around to all
the parts places and machine shops around here trying to figure a way to save
some bucks.  There are no trunions available to repair this universal.  Order
a new one from your dealer and be happy!
    I had a response from someone on the List who had a new one for sale I'll
see if I can find his connection and send it.  I just looked and evidently I
have deleted his mail.  Hopefully he will see this and post a message to you.
 His price was not good enough to warrant getting his over the one from my
dealer.  There was a time constraint also.  My dealer said he could have it
in a few days which he did.

Cheers
