Yup, that's what the guy is asking. As far as I know, Vanagon handles
will only fit Vanagons. I have seen Audi handles on a local Vanagon
but it was converted by welding pieces from the Audi donor.

On another note, I find myself with about 60-70 door handles plus
dozens of NOS slider handles and other locksets. Many do not have
keys. If there is a real market for these out there, I mnay consider
having a locksmith key them alike. There are complete sets too. A
local shop asked me to sell sets of these last year (on the list). I
bought everything else that was not spoken for ... err... for spares
for my various Vanagons. No long handle sliders.
