> I need a sliding door handle for a 83.5 Westy.

These are now discontinued by Volkswagen. However, for now we still have
them available new. These are a common failure item and it may be worth
getting one while you still can. I can't believe VW discontinued them!

Incidentally, these are for '80-85.  The 86-91 handle is, for now, still
readily available (and we also sell it).
