There's a good chance I'll be having the motor yanked out of my syncro for some repairs - primarily new head gaskets which pretty much sums up the coolant issue I had posted about several weeks back. Having the motor out gives me an opportunity to renew and fix a few other things and from what I understand it also makes the head gasket job a bit more bearable. I guess it is time to really get to know my van. One thing I'm contemplating is renewing my fuel tank saddle and straps - which in current condition are very corroded. Does anyone know of other vendors who sell these parts or have some in relatively good condition? I was surprised to actually find a replacement set from Gowesty. I have nothing but excellent dealings with GW, however I just wanted to get an idea if anything else exists out there. What have some of you syncronauts done to find and renew this part? http://www.gowesty.com/ec_view_details.php?id=4319&category_id=305&category_parent_id =
thanks again for your help. BT |
