.  I replaced the clip for 12 cents.
I have absolutely never heard of a twelve cent VW part.
You have found a genuine oddity.
Congratulations!!
The little brass thing in your steering wheel that makes the horn work is
$14.00, head bolt washers are over $3.00.
If you folks are willing to wait a week I'll get you some *buyer beware*
spedos for about $30.00 each.
I'll need to know the revs per mile there below the trip meter. Example
806, 820 etc.
If you want them turned back or moved to your correct mileage add $25.00
to keep your Car-Fax reports straight and inspection record clean.
