There are many parts interchanges in Rocky Mountain Catalog, Bus Boys
Catalog, Bus Depot Catalog for starters, valve covers etc. etc.
Finding a VW Rabbit part that fits a Vanagon doesn't get you any
discounts.
Finding some good Audi 5000 Coupe gauge set and senders is worth the
effort, no they don't fit but they work.
