Today as I prepared to have a removable jumpseat ready for pick-up by an out-of-town listee's brother, I noticed that the old mailing tube that the rear bracket came in was still here. Perfect transport vessel I thought. As I cleaned up the tube for mailing, I proceeded to take off the old mailing label. The first layer came off. Gary M. from Massachusetts shipped it to me. Under that label: Les Paulsen from Utah shipped it to Gary. Under that label: Joel Cort from New York shipped it to Les. When I received this rear bracket, I intended on installing it in my 87 GL. During the ensuing months, I found a matched set which I decided to use instead. I then sold the bracket in question along with a jumpseat to my friend Jero in Daly City. Jero hung on to the set-up until he needed some quick cash to replace his blown heads. He asked me to sell it for him. I posted it on the list. Sure enough, I sell it. The bracket along with the seat is on it's way to Santa Barbara, California. I wonder if Brent will actually end up installing this bracket. I am shipping it off in the same mailing tube that it came in from New York. The way I see it, the people making a killing on this bracket is the post office. There's about $30-$40 worth of shipping stamps on the tube. It's been from one end of the country to the other. Makes you wonder what the story of the seat is. BTW, I bought a floor mount from Joel. I'll bet anything it is a match to that rear bracket. The End, BenT <A HREF="http://hometown.aol.com/bentbtstr8/myhomepage/index.html">Vanagon Cafe</A> all rights reserved |
