Derek,
Thanks for the photo of the special 16" alloy spring seats. Would they work
for a 1989 Vanagon?


The problem with the rubber "doughnuts" is that they are only about 1/8 inch
thick and the junk yards throw them away so you can't find them. The VW
dealer wants $18 each and that's absurd.


I'll make mine out of the plastic cutting board and maybe put a piece of
rubber scrap in there for traction. What kind of "material" did you propose
to put over and under them?
