Thanks. I stuck Ben's email address in this reply, since he mentioned he'd check his email tonight or maybe tomorrow morning.

Subject: Re:      Ben Huot-stuck in Oceanside

A good place for parts is VeeParts in National City  619-477-4787 near the
Mexican border. They have everything you'll need. You can get excellent
service and all parts at Herman Cook VW in Encinitas (760-753-6256) just 10
miles south of Oceanside, and also good service at VW Paradise
(760-744-9081) in San Marcos just East of Oceanside. My advice for good
service and guaranteed work is Herman Cook VW in Encinitas. I've had
excellent results with them. For an older bus maybe VW Paradise might be
better.

> I called Ben earlier this afternoon. After driving 4100 miles, he and his
girlfriend are stuck at a beachside campground in/near Oceanside.  I gave
him a few leads for parts (he needs tranny parts, a muffler, etc. for his
70's era bus...don't remember the actual year) Anyway, I don't really know
too many parts places in SD county, so if anyone can give him some advice
he'd apprecite it. He still plans (AFAIK) to go into Baja, but I suggested
getting everything ship-shape first. If he has to, he'll come up to L.A. to
look for parts.
