I have aftermarket ones with inch threads for $7/pr or OEM VW ones for $15/pr. Shipping is $5. You might be able to find something at a hardware store or your FLAPS. > One more thing...the last owner held the pump/filter strap in with a piece > of wire.

A good piece of stiff wire works just fine also. If you buy a pair of rubber mounts I'd be glad to send along some wire for free. ;-) - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
