Yah I'm sorely tempted to try and find a "chain" place that's open
today, but I'll hold out.

You'd think a front end alignment on a Vanagon wouldn't be rocket
surgery. But as has been pointed out, they ain't no Dodge 4x.

Since no trusted indies appear to be open today, I'll at least do some
quick measurements (thanks list for tips). Then again maybe I'll look
into festoon led's for my Westy kitchen light instead!

Neil.
