I have 100+ of them in a cardboard box here in the shop.  I use about 5 a year for various projects and customer vans.  

 

Used one just the other day… cut a 3” segment out of one the other day to splice some fuel hose.  Perfect fit!

 

Cheers, 

 

Jeff

Lol, when I read that I thought " Wow, $40.00 each used? I've thrown away a few hundred dollars worth over years the years"

John, I have used ones in stock.  I usually sell them for $40 each plus shipping them to you via priority mail shipping which is an additional $7 for as many as you may need.  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).

Let me know if I can help you further.
