Thanks, Dennis.


My nearest VW dealer is 120 miles away and when I stopped by there once in
the past, the parts manager said "Vanagon? .... Are you sure it's a
Volkswagen?"


Right now I'm attempting to fabricate one from a Dremel felt polishing
wheel.  It looks promising but it's not finished yet.
