Hi Tom,Perhaps as a starting point, enquire at your local VW dealership spare parts counter?You may get lucky but I found it hard to find an online listing/source for this clip other than here:2 x clips - holder/guide for handbrake cables = 2 x part # 251 609 719 B http://www.ebay.de/itm/VW-Bus-T3-Halter-Fuhrung-Handbremsseil-orig-VW-/110521039042?pt=DE_Autoteile&hash=item19bb9138c2#ht_672wt_946Perhaps if there was enough interest, arrange a bulk purchase with interested Oz syncro members?As well while your at it, consider a pair of genuine syncro handbrake cables (leftside/rightside combination ... they are NOT the same) here:1 x pair - 251 609 701 D (LHS) and 1 x 251 609 702 (RHS)Concerning past discussions of Mefro wheel rims, 15" ET30 here:and for 16" ET30 here:In 2011, I purchased (less VAT tax) a quantity of parts, communicating instead direct through sellers email address (Tristar Connections and/or Karmann-ghia) and using PayPal payment.

Hi TeamDoes anyone have the longish plastic grommet that guides the handbrake cable trough the rail under the body.If it's worn there is a potential the the handbrake cable frays due to it rubbing on metal.Tom
Tom, Hartmut,
I bought mine from -Günzel Classic Parts- a few years ago.
By the way, no tax exemption for car parts.
Cheers,
Theo

Hi Tom,
Just visited TriStar connection a few days ago. Fantastic business. When you have send the goods to your parents though, they have to charge you the dreaded Mehrwertsteuer of 19% ! By having it sent to you here in Oz you can avoid the tax.
