You  should be able to get the manual valve parts at any decent RV or propane
 supplier for the same or maybe less money.  I converted our `87 Westy's
tank last summer for less than $50.00 and that was in Alaska where we pay more
for shipping.

Not trying to divert business from a former list member,  just offering that
there probably is a local alternative for most list  members.

Mark is absolutely correct  !  We have been over this subject more than once.
 I also have those  replacement valves available, see my _Vanagon Items
Forsale_ (http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/sales.htm)  -  "Westfalia camper Parts"
webpage.  I don't ship them out very  often because if you go looking in the
right place locally you WILL find  them.
