About a  year or so ago , needed a couple of these tubes.Called everywhere,
and  could not find them. BD said that they were back ordered,but could not
say  if they would ever get them.I finally got some used ones from go
westy.I  once saw some on ebay. They were new, so maybe some venders have
gotten  them restocked.

I recently got some through _ALTROM_ (http://www.altrom.com/) .  From my
_Vanagon Items  Forsale_ (http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/sales.htm)  webpage: Push
rod tube collapsible, Altrom, 070 109 337 -  $64.95 each.  I do not stock them
due to the exorbitant price.  The  ones they sent me were made from billet
aluminium not the tin as the previous  ones.  I did a Internet search for these a
while back and turned up other  sources at cheaper prices.  Do a Google on
them and see what you  find.
