i'd like to know how folks crimp various wires behind and above the fuse
block (installing relays and such).  i can snip just fine, but since the
crimping feature on most wire tools is on the inside of the hinge
(nearer the handles), it's nearly impossible to shove the tool in far
enough to crimp.  plus, you run the risk of snipping something important
when the cutting end is buried deep inside.

OK Time for a new compilation of "Quirky things that make a Vanagon
Interesting and unique and that you need to know if you are going to
live with one"

  Along with the location of the brake/clutch reservoir, washer bottle
refill, oil tube extension, there must be other "Quirks" or design
features that are unique to these vehicles and that knowing about would
elicit amazement and wonder. Westies too!
How about it listees, what are your "Favorite Vanagon/Westy Features"
