Here BrickWerks has it for 20 GBP and they might have other things you'll need as well?https://brickwerks.co.uk/product/cra...t4-5-cylinder/

George, you've come through again! Using your link I was able to find the VW part number for the 27mm crankshaft bolt: N 010 143 2. From there I Googled for that and another site popped up listing the external thread size: M18 x 1,5!

Naturally Amazon has a wide variety of taps and dies. Yay!
