Hi mike,
I'll pmail you.
I've been working on opposed four cylinder VW enginesnearly full time
since 1973.  Never heard that assembly called anything but a Rocker Arm
Assembly.

I'll dig one out, send you a picture and a quote.
you could say what your location is so I don't have to ask again later,
regarding shipping cost.
Actually ..I can't think intelligently about the part  without knowing
*where* it's going.   Seems at times that  I am the only vanagon person
with that requirement.
That's because I do remote psychic healings onvanagonsand cars.

Van has been only a little off all summer for weak oil pressure from incorrect seal. when the tube was replaced ( IDK how long before me) an outer seal was used inboard. new seals are in appropriately - tube no longer wobbles in place. did the valves per Bentley - shaft carrier held in place with extra washer temporarily per Samba thread post. so, as the subject lines reads, I'm in search of a carrier for an `85  1.9. willing to buy entire shaft if necessary. reply here and show your support or PM me and be an off-season Secret Santa. thanks in advance - now, back to your regular programming ...     =(:|)       mike
