If you find that its in the stalk, I have the one that I took out of my Westy when I put in the cruise.  I'd be willing to donate it (if I can find it).  Hopefully this act of benevolence will cause the vanagon gods to smile on me during our upcoming big trip.  I'll take all the good karma I can muster!! :-)

Let me know if you're interested.
