fwiw ..
I am a big big van of Van Cafe for vanagon parts.

I do believe they have a focus on providing higher quality parts.
it's getting better lately ..
for a while it seemed well made vanagon parts were getting hard to find.
I can get a heater valve for as low as 9 dollars or something..
that is scary cheap.   The one I got from Van Cafe was 3 times that much ..
but I bet it's a longer lasting far better part then the el cheapo.
