Diff/Gearbox Activators

1
Hey all
I need some parts to finish fitting my reco gearbox and front diff.
Problem i've had gearbox with difflocks reco'd in Germany(costly, but
i thought having it done in country of origin is better) and purchased
matching front diff, diff lock as well.
Models
AAN
ADH
both are matching ratios of 34.7

So now what/where do i find the second activator(VacuumServo) for
front diff and Both lock switches for in cab. I think i need a Vacuum
reservoir, as well as small check valve(inline?)
What else do i need?
Help needed in sourcing these items, I know it wont happen overnight
but i will make it happen, so close now...

Oh yeh
I suppose if u want to come and help me fit them i will let you, just
cause i am such a nice guy..

Just get them from an Australian VW dealer. You won't get them much cheaper.

Phill beat me to saying much the same thing.  Second-hand parts are few and far between so you don't have a lot of choice.  With new parts, you get new parts warranty.  With used parts, you don't.    Bentleys will show you how it all fits together.

I wouldn't buy one of these s/h anyway.
I have most of the prices for these bits somewhere. Most parts are cheap.

I was not going for secondhand bits with this one as they are the main
players in the action of working something i need to work at any time.
Ok so new parts are available??
I haven't been in contact with VWAus as most times when looking for
parts for my T3 i am redirected to search for my own suppliers. Is
there any where in particular i should be looking, as far as VW dealers??
Such as the Vacuum servo, reservoir and lines?
What about the switch or switches inside the cab?
Been studying the Bentleys and it really is not past my mechanical
aptitude, as it seems quite basic. But like most jobs on the T3 theres
always a Murphy somewhere.

Thanks Andy nothing like going back to the source.
Link suggested Aus ebay but after three attempts item number search
proved the obvious.

I dont suppose you know how much the instrument or in cab switches are
worth new??
The one i have been directed to on German Ebay are looking to go for a
couple of bucks probably about 80aus dollars or more and then postage
to aus is unknown so somewhere around 150 aus dollars sounds legit for
secondhand switches.
