Some Vanagon parts ARE gold:

I was quoted $20.00 for the small plastic mounting bracket for one of my stock
rear stereo speakers.  I jumped all over it because this part is virtual
unobtaneum.  It is worth $20.00 to me and I will gladly pay that much.
Alas,  the bracket sent was not the correct one so I'm still looking.
The part I need is black plastic  1 1/8" by 2"  and is embossed with the
number:  8  601  360  017
