Oh yeah, the last posting I made was also about suspension parts--small
world. In that posting,I suggested that that person try to save his current
spindle.

While you all are at my Ebay store, don't forget to look at all the
stainless steel screws and bolts I have for your Vanagon. I also have a set
of stainless steel screws that fit the utility boxes, as non others that are
available, do. Not shown in my Ebay store, but many know I have them. They
turn out to be an odd sized metric wood screw. I guess(I can't
guarantee)that the manufacturer of the plastic utility boxes, more closely
associate molding plastic items with wood, rather than metal, and made the
counter sinks to fit wood screw heads. They are not molded for the #6 oval
head screws, but that is what most people replace the existing ones with.
Try finding metric, stainless steel wood screws in America. GW could
not.$6.50 for a set of 17 that also replaces the chrome refrigerator vent cover.

I have bolts there for the fiberglass pop top that have oversized heads and
are available no place else in the world. How's that for a claim? They
spread out the clamping force as none others can, and look good doin' it.
Two more unsubstantiatible but true claims.

I now offer them with a hand polished finish, and they look like Vanagon
jewlery, if there was such a thing. Like little convex mirrors, they are.
