Not that part I don't .. I've only got one and it's on my Bus.
But they're not hard to come by new, check Always or Halsey. .. you know they were all dealer-installed, right?

Really? I didn't know that. The dealer drilled the holes too? That may explain why they're not parallel with the lid.

Get a nice soft 1" X 1/8" X 24" strip of ductile aluminum.

Drill X to match and you can compensate for crooked holes a bit.

I'm going on three years. I even pulled the engine without disconnecting them once, and the bailing wire unrolled itself and disconnected nicely.

How about how many cotter pin/heat flapper/bowdin extensions have there been..that cotterpin should have a vw pn..(yes it does I think for crenelated hub nuts)
The" VW BUS WORKAROUND BOOK",soon to fill discount racks near you.
Maybe worthy of a fat chapter if someone were penning a Type2 comprehensive...
