The plastic cover on my son's 90 Vanagon air flow meter fell off.  I
have fashioned a make shift cover out of an old clear plastic box top,
but would like to find a replacement.  Does anyone know where I could
get a cover without replacing the entire air flow meter (expensive!!!).
I have checked the local salvage yards and the only ones I found wanted
to sell the entire part.

Thanks,
