Subject:      new vanagon owner questions,
              drivers side grab handle and stuck speedo needle
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"


Hi,
  I have a new to me 1990 Vanagon GL.  I am trying to go through  the van
and fix all of the things that aren't fixed.  The needle on the  speedo keeps
sticking.  I have to tap on the plastic clear cover about 50  times and
sometimes it releases.  Any tricks to fixing this without  replacing the entire
instrument cluster?


Also, why did these vans NOT come with a grab handle like the passenger
side to enter and exit the vehicle?  I have a newly healing broken ankle  and
could really use the grab handle to get in and out of the van.  I  bought an
extra grab handle with mounts, same as the passenger side.  Any  tricks or
drill bit size to install this handle on the driver's  side?   I know I have
to be careful not to drill into the wires in the  pillar.


Thanks,
David
