Thanks listees,  I have ordered this from the Bus Depot.  Being a
British car restorer in addition to keeping my Vanagon alive I know what
a spanner is, have bought lots of parts from auto jumbles, and try to
avoid bodging up my repairs.  I can handle a British version, you can't
have too much information when it comes to car repair!
