I don't know...both of mine came with 'em.

I didn't mention the sequel...P/S didn't work right after replacing
the hoses, so I didn't drive three hours into Connecticut on a whim
to go to the Litchfield Bug In in the middle of the night, so three
days later my throttle cable failed a mile from home instead of
fifty, and in a nasty double-merge highway entrance overpass that
quite improbably has a twelve-foot-wide shoulder.  Very tricky, these
VGAs...favorite trick has been to fail something obnoxious and
irritating, forcing me to go and look where six inches away something
disastrous is getting ready to happen.

And the steering problem cleared itself in a few days...apparently
some grit got in somewhere that didn't get flushed out?  Dunno - I
was careful, and all the pipe cuts were downstream of the rack.  Ask
the VGA(TM).

Best,
David
