Didn't say I liked the price but here you go: http://www.busdepot.com/321837581a01c The handles do cross to other VW vehicles and perhaps with some searching could find a better deal. The spacers for example are from the rear of a Cabriolet but work/fit perfect in a Vanagon. Used is always an option if you have a junk yard that has 80-90s VWs in it.
