Well, I don't grace the vestibule the local dealer calls a parts
department here locally, but I decided to see how much that little S
link piece of formed round steel that connects the gas pedal to the
bell crank on the manual transmission  Vanagon.  I about fell over
when he said it was $24!!!!

Any one got one in semi pristine condition they'd sell me a little
cheaper?  Or better yet, trade for something I have laying around.  I
could let go of one of my VDO coolant/oil temp senders with the  14 x
1.5 thread pitch.  It has a second terminal on it that comes on at
120 degrees C to either start a fan or turn on a warning light.  I
have one on ebay right now. You can have the other.  I'm using one
just like it on my van, but not utilizing the second terminal.

Thanks
