This is the part number that I bought a while back that wound up being
the wrong length.  I would measure what you have and then have them
measure what they have, just to be sure you are both on the same page.

There some aftermarket ones listed out there but all of them I have purchased have been a different length than the stock waterboxer push rods.  Just found out that they are the correct length for some of the aircooled Vanagon 2.0l engine, even though I thought those were the same as the bus AC push rods (live and learn).
