Hi all, I used to be a member of this list some years back, and have just temporarily rejoined. I remember with fondness a good bunch of people with a great knowledge of VW's and an unhealthy dose of obsession. I hope to see the names of some of the people that I remember. I found the list quite helpful and entertaining. I especially enjoyed hear of the exploits of others and their beloved Westies. After having my van laid up for the past two and a half years, I've decided to get her back on the road. I've already sorted out most of the problems, but now I find myself in need of a pair of rear backing plates. Mine are absolutely shot (I can see my shoes through them). So, here's the thing, I'm pretty sure there are no after-market manufacturers for these, and my local VW Stealership wants over $100.00 each for them. long post short, Anybody have a pair of used backing plates for a Vanagon? I'm really in a jam here, as its the last thing that's keeping me from getting it licenced. Also, I'm looking for an exterior sliding door handle, mine was removed by somebody with a hockey stick. Thanks to anyone who replies, I'll be staying on the list only for a day or two, as I'm using my work email, and I'm sure they'll become quite contrary about the sudden increase in the volume of mail. Cheers, Bob Norman '81 Westy '63 Bug St. John's, Newfoundland Canada |
