Considering how difficult these are to come by, I think $80 might be a fair price. They should include the bracket for the thermostat and BOTH halves of the fan housing just so you get a matched set (check the gen diameter, as there were 2 different diameters of saddles), and of course you should get ALL the linkage. John pointed out that one of the pushrods differs depending on whether you have single or dual port heads. There is also a return spring, which is an important safety feature. I'm sure you could fabricate these, but I don't know if it's worth the effort. If they get any harder to find, however, it would be nice if someone did. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
