Subject:Brake Proportioning Valve "Alternative"? (early Vanagons)

Hi all.

I've gotten various opinions on the possibility that a late model year
Bay Bus valve might be the same as the early model Vanagon (up to mid
'82 I *think*)

Over on the Samba Bay list, one member kindly responded saying that a
'79 and '82 share the same PN

I searched the PN on line, and found a listing for the part for a Bay.
Here's a pic of it I enhanced:

Looks the same as whats on my '81  (though I need to double check)

Of course, whether or not a given vendor actually has stock of the
part is another issue.

Has anyone else found that this part is the same?

Neil.
