Not knowing where in CT, here are my recommendations.

EuroAuto in Bethlehem has done quite a bit of work on my three Vanagons.
(He helicoiled my oil drain when the local JiffyLube (please no flames)
screwed it up)

In Danbury I'd talk to Ray Smith Motors on Osborne St.  Also has worked on
my VWs and specializes.

---Hi, I have an exaust leak at one of my headers on my 85' Vanagon
---1.9 L. Found that it was a gasket, went to replace the gasket,
---found one of the bolt holes is stripped (so bad a longer bolt
---won't even catch any threads) , and that it has already been
---tapped and dyed once, so this means it needs to be helicoiled.
---Does anyone in CT know how to do this and if so could you help me out?
---thanx a bunch,
