Hy,

I had to replace the links on my '80 last year. It was the
first time. I had both links broken and I search for some
good ones on local salvage yards, but 50% are already
broken. I paid 10 USD for two links.

I took some pictures, and as soon as they are out of processing,
I like to send them to Martin Jagersand, who already offers
a web site about this common failure.

There are two kind of links, those curved ones on the early,
and straight ones on the later Vanagons. I only heard, that
the curved one will brake some time, not the straight. But
they are not replaceable.
