James: James King in Houston had one of those levers advertised on the Samba a
few weeks ago. I looked through his ads real quick on the Samba and don't see
it now, but you might e-mail him and see if he still has it. Just do a search
on bus parts for Texas and you will see a bunch of his ads listed under seller
James K. Houston or Conroe. Also, you might try Peter Albarian who has a
bunch
of early bus parts he has been selling on the Samba. Listed again under bus
parts/Texas seller Pcalbar in San Antonio.
When I restored my panel I fabricated one by just looking at some pictures in
the bus manual (I think). Not difficult to do. I then found one on a 59 in a
salvage yard and spent about 1/2 hour in the dirt under the bus taking it off.
I still have the one that I fabricated, but finding it would be another
matter.
I really don't even know where to look.

My Bus is missing the metal that goes onto the fuel tap that is secured by a
cotter pin and has a hole in the end for the cable from the knob under the
front
seat. I managed to remove the broken cable from the tube but the piece was
missing when I bought the Bus.
I have a diagram in the VW manual so I think I could have it fabricated but I
was wondering if anyone knows if they are being reproduced so I could just buy
one. Failing that I would like to borrow one to trace it and see how thick it
is. I'd love to have a reserve that is functional before we drive to Nac/Fred.
