Maybe its available. Would make a little less clutter behind the dash. Unfortunately for me Uncle Express ( lol at that term coined by you!!) has already arrived in Pakistan. However he is in another city which happens to be my birthplace and maternal town so I ave not met him or recieved the goodies yet. For most of the listees not folllowing the Uncle Express story, Bert was kind enough to send some parts for my 68 bug via an uncle based in Washington DC whos just arrived in Pakistan. Thanks a million Bert!
