Jason,
    Here is a permanent cheap fix.  Its better than new.
Clean the entire thing, well with brake clean.  Use a
good exopy glue that can take heat like JB weld,
and glue it in place.   I was strandded on a Sunday
night, and used this as a temperary fix.  This was
5 years ago.  It is stronger than the original, when
glued, and you do not have to dismantle the
distrubutor.
                                               Eric

The electrical plug on mine is pretty cracked up and the wires are in bad shape.  I don't want to buy an entire distributor if I can avoid it.  I called Bus Depot and they can't find it without the part number, I called VW and they have a picture of the part but no part number either.
