Eliminate it with a full length cable.  Leave the EGR counter in place with
the wires and just bypass it with the full length cable.

They're not expensive.  I sell the full length cables for $16.50 plus
shipping.

 The small cable from the box to the wheel hub broke a few weeks ago on
my 84 vanagon. I ordered a cable from B-D and it's on backorder for
weeks now. My question is what purpose does this box serve. I can buy a
full length cable and eliminate the box. Or is this not a good idea.
