Does anyone know about a VW parts supplier, Heritage Parts Centre?

Yes, they are one of the largest in the UK. Always been pretty good to me.

They have a lot of parts that are very hard to find in the US. They also have outrageous shipping
charges based on the value of the order, not on the weight or size. Not that I blame them for that,
having to deal with the incompetency/dishonesty of the various government postal and customs
rackets.

I may be wrong but I believe that Heritage has a connection with VW.

They can get stuff from VW Classic Parts, like most European dealers I suppose.
Classic Parts declines to ship to US and probably other regions. We can get stuff indirectly,
for instance by ordering from those Euro dealers, or US places that have some arrangement
with them, such as Bus Depot has with Just Kampers in the UK.

If I'm not mistake, VW Classic Parts won't ship to the U.S. because of VWOA not because they don't want to.

That's it, it was Classic Parts I was thinking of. Never mind...
