    Wish this had popped up against a couple of days ago. A set went on ebay.co.uk a few days ago for about $85 before the shipping and taxes. Too steep of a price for me..

    Seriously, have you tried poking around on the UK site VWT4forum.co.uk or the Aussie site http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/?

    Thanks, but i'm not a newcomer to searching. I've found those same sources, but there is a huge difference between finding references and actually getting your hands on them. They are snapped up quickly overseas too.

    I saw several sets for sale withing the last few months using that search. So considering you have been looking since 2008 I would say you are not really that good at searching

    Just set up an google alert to let you know anytime one of the earth terms comes up

    With all the pics out there it would not be very hard to have a knowledgeable welder make a set and have them powder coated, I too have been wanting a set for quite some time.

    I might just ask my good welder friend how hard this would be to make.

    ...well now that I re-read and see you already have a set albeit broken see my PM!
