Is it the bellows unit you want? As noted A8parts would probably have these if that's the problem.

The question is why? These aren't particularly noted for failing, more that the manifold flaps get jammed and/or the link arms break.

You can buy the links from Gruvenparts, or is it what they connect to that is broken?

Gruvenparts from the US then.
But they break because manifolds get seized.
So before installing new links make sure to service manifolds.
