Fuel Injection Corp rebuilds AFMs. I have one in my van which works very smoothly.

Paradoxically, Bus Depot sells the FIC-remanufactured part (part numbers are identical) for less than FIC charges for it directly. :scratch:

Both FIC and Bus Depot charge a core fee, refunded when you send in your old AFM.

It's possible that your existing AFM would respond to adjustment of the wiper track position or a dab of DeOxit Fader Lube. There have been numerous posts here and on the Samba about AFM tweaking. Depends on how much time/money you have to throw at this.
