Hi Art, 

Glad to hear that you seem to be recovered and back to work.  ;-)

I have these, good used VW for $1 or new OE Osram for $3. Personally, 
I always use used ones, because the only ones that ever burn out are 
the TS bulbs. (If you buy used, I won't send you bulbs from the TS 
sockets.)

I think I have those, good used for $1 or new for $3.

I won't have that one.

I have the hose, but I haven't seen a good cutoff valve for a very 
long time. You probably only need to replace the length between the 
bottle and the washer control. That other one never fails and is a 
real pain to replace. I probably have a black cap that DOESN'T cut 
off.

I have a number of those brackets, used for $20, but there were 
several different styles used. I would need to know exactly what your 
radio looks like and whether it came with a separate plastic face 
plate or not.

Oops, I just did a bit of a search and the Sapphire III was a '66 AM 
6 VOLT radio. That's why it was in your trunk and not installed in 
your 12 V car. For more info, go here:

If I don't have it, you should ask on the email list. In general, I 
have very few parts that are specific to fastbacks.
