Mark:

I can see it won't be hard to twist the rod into two pieces.  I've
been trying to get it unfrozen carefully, because I cannot find
a replacement part at Busdepot, Vanagain, Van-Cafe or GoWesty.
I've been searching for 251 711 471D which is what I get from
my ETKA on page 70-01.

Is that the right part number?  Where can I get a new one?

Thanks,
Richard
