Reinhard, This is great work you're doing. I have an '84 and am well impressed with how darn noisy it is at highway speed. So I'm reading your reports with great interest, hoping you find e-z and effective means to reduce the noise. Keep up the good work. -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 71 Type 2: the Wonderbus 84 Westphalia: "Mellow Yellow (The Electrical Banana)" KG6RCR
