David and Ben must both be on vacation.... This feels a bit like the  
original Vanagon List �.

The guide pin for an '82 is NOT NLA, it's just no longer available  
commercially new.  I have a spare in my tool box if you really need  
one.  I suspect that Daryl has a few too. I'd be happy to send it on  
if you really need it. I think BD has the plastic 'bearing' that goes  
on the guide. At least they used to....

(Now the boots that are supposed to cover all that stuff, that's NLA!  
Bicycle inner tube pieces and tie wire works in a pinch.)

Regards,

Jim
