Craig, I can get them from a supplier in Europe if anyone needs them.
They are selling for $29 each at the moment. I had two today but I sold
them both. Let me know if anyone wants to order them and I can get them
in less than a week.

At a minimum we need the two shift bushings, part number 251.711.207D. We checked with Van Cafe and Bus Depot and both places are out of stock. I do not see them on Vanagain's site, either. Does anyone know of a source?
