"Cone Remover" is a rare commodity, but it's out there. LOL!

Try some aviation supply websites. Sporty's Pilot Shop, etc. Also
aviation supply catalogs.

There are other things too, for pilots that may have use in our Vanagon
world - like 'white knuckle fever" hand cream. Helps relax the knuckles
of the hands to be able to release the wheel after some fool cuts you
off in heavy traffic.

The fans kept turning because of the pressure of forward motion on the propellers.  My pucker factor shot right off the scale. Pulled a cone right up on those plastic seat covers that took the mechanics three cans of cone remover, two rolls of paper towels and some serious elbow grease to make that seat useable again.
