I had a similar problem. Early 1983 wbx 1.9. I now need to get some 19" as you can see the one's they sent are miles smaller and were pretty loose when the clamp was secured. If your links are cranked the bar will be 19" i think.

251 411 041 C has to be used with matching clamp 251 411 063 A 1984 model on, your van being a 83 will have the earlier clamp 251 411 063
VW changed the clamp and the bush chassis E-145 000 onwards
