[Vwdiesel] need TBC hardware...any ideas?

[Will Taygan]

Old (metal) Timing Belt Cover:

Here's the setup for the two stepped bushings:

Screw http://busdepot.com/details.jsp?partnumber=N0102186
Washer http://busdepot.com/details.jsp?partnumber=N0116672
Metal Bushing http://busdepot.com/details.jsp?partnumber=056109135
Rubber Grommet http://busdepot.com/details.jsp?partnumber=056129669B
Washer http://busdepot.com/details.jsp?partnumber=N0116672
Hex Nut http://busdepot.com/details.jsp?partnumber=N01100636

There's quite a few more parts, you'll need EKTA or a dealer, but they
seem to be available?  (FYI: busdepot has parts and selection, but is
slow on shipping)
