Someone must have either had theirs repaired / refurbed or bought new ones. Having looked over many websites the prices seem to vary from a couple of hundred a pair to a couple of hundred each. I guessing they are different quality. Are the cheaper ones as good as the dear ones or would it be false economy?
I got a pair from GSF (1700 type 4 engine) that did a good job and were used for about 4 years. I have just replaced them with genuine used VW ones as they are supposed to be better than aftermarket ones. I can't comment on the difference until I pick the bus up next week end though. I will be selling my old ones soon if you are interested.....
VWH do 'best quality' & standard repro ones... Don't know how good they are but they do state improved fins & construction.. http://www.vwheritage.com/vw_spares...09521_lang_EN_country_GB.htm?crumbStartPage=1 Don't know if anyone on here has tried them..
I wouldent mind a look at the actual fins on the best quality vwh ones to see if there the same as the original german ones If they are then it would save a few quid on importing og spec ones from the states
Was just reading that thread with the exchangers from the us. Nah mate. I'm gonna have to make do this year with what I have. Spent 3k on the bus so far so gonna have have to park it til winter now.
