In my experience, when Van Cafe physically puts a small package together they will make a judgement to send it cheaper or for the same website generated price they will upgrade to speedier shipping.

 Anyone know where I can get these and
 not pay an arm and a leg for shipping?
 I was all set to order them from Van Cafe until I got to
 checkout and they were going to charge me $13 to send them
 by UPS. I mean they would fit into an envelope!
 Bus Depot does not list them but I'm in AZ and parts take
 forever to come from PA.

 That's because there is no Adjuster or Pivot Piece on the
 Bottom Outside of
 the Low Beam.
 
 Top Outside Adjuster Assembly:

 A few years back I pushed through the project to have all of
 the adjusters
 to be reproduced by Airhead/VWG because.Volkswagen started
 obsoleting them
 and have been very popular with the Vanagon crowd.� In
 addition to retail
 sales, they provide them to the well-known Vanagon parts
 vendors.� Even the
 dealer 2 blocks down the street buys them.
 
 In addition to Van Cafe, I take several tech calls a week
 involving these
 adjuster pieces.
 
 As far as used pieces are concerned, forget it.� It's not
 so much they've
 been cannibalized, the nylon piece(s) have become so brittle
 with age they
 become worthless trash.
