Marla, You will only be in trouble if you get in a head on collision and sheerly the bolts will be the least of your worries. Drive safely and always look ahead. I find with these vanagons that if you spend too much time looking back at the jobs you have done in the past you do not have enough time to look at the jobs at the moment. be well, gary Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2003 15:51:24 -0400 From: Marla Stelk <mjstelk@HOTMAIL.COM> Subject: Re: sheer bolts/steering column - another question Okay - so I just replaced my front heater core, and it removing the whole dash, the bolts holding my steering rack on to the underside of the dash that everyone warned me about were slotted. They had that cone head, but it was slotted so I just used a normal flathead and had no problems removing them or putting them back. Am I in any danger because I didn't use locktite or some sheer bolts (whatever they are..)? Peace, Marla '87 Westy GL "Vana Morrison"
