Subject:      newbie week continues - fuse block and mirror question
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Hello,

Yet another newbie here, I've got a new (to me) 84 GL wagon that I'm trying
to bring back from the dead. I've got two questions I couldn't find answers
for in the archives.

#1 My vanagon has the old style fuse block. Is it possible to replace it
with a fuse block from a later model so that I'd be able to use the modern
style of fuses? Is it worth the trouble? Has anyone else on the list done
this? If it is possible, what model year is recommended/usable?

#2 When I bought my van, the rear view mirror was dry rotted, so I got
picked on up via ebay. The old "stalk" pulled out easily enough, but I can't
get the new one (or the old stalk) back in. Is there some magic twisting
motion that I'm not aware of? My vanagon has AC, which almost seems to be in
the way somehow.

Thanks in advance,
Tom Corbitt
