Hi all. I was surprised to see just how cracked one of the couplers on my '81 was. The one at the rack was just starting to crack, but the 2 at the transfer (V-box) were cracking pretty badly. http://tubaneil.googlepages.com/steeringcouplingdiscfrom%2781 NOT trying to start a panic over these parts. Just showing what I found. The last pic is from another lister who kindly allowed me to post it on my site. He/they are ok, but the part obviously failed. Cheers, Neil. -- Neil Nicholson '81 JettaWesty "Jaco http://groups.google.com/group/vanagons-with-vw-inline-4-cylinder-gas-engines http://web.mac.com/tubaneil http://tubaneil.googlepages.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ + To unsubscribe from the Vanagon List send an e-mail to + listserv@gerry.vanagon.com with SIGNOFF VANAGON + in the body of the message. ------------------------------------------------------------ |
