The situation is that I have an 85 with auto-stop fill valve with frozen bleed screw broken at the stem. Go Westy offers rebuilding (none in stock currently) but not sure if it is rebuildable with the broken bleeder screw. I though I had read a post where someone replaced the old style auto-stop valve with the later "bottle" style valve like the later Westies have and I assume installed the appropriate bleed screw in the hole near the top right of the tank. Can anyone verify this, or offer other suggestions for replacing the problematic auto-stop? Can I just find a later fill valve and bleeder and screw them on? Does anyone know the manufacturer number for the bleed screw of the proper depth for the tank? Have I asked too many questions?... much obliged - Shawn Imua Camper Company, Hawaii, http://www.imua-tour.com Volkswagen Westfalia camper rentals in the Hawaiian Islands ph/fax-1(877)773-4682 or (808)935-6241 Member: Recreational Vehicle Rental Association Hawaii Ecotourism Association |
