Hi All, I was hoping to enlist the help of the list to collect some measurement data. If you're game, grab a tape maesure(which is intentionally mispelled for you west coast/pacific NW crowd since that's how you guys seem to pronounce it) and head to your van! Make sure it's pahked(how we pronounce it) on relatively level or even ground. I need help with: 1) Drivers and Passengers side wheel arch measurement (from ground to the bottom-most edge of the middle of the wheel arch) 2) Lowest point (ground to the absolute lowest point, and it's name, ie "skid plate" or "oil pan") 3) Year, Model specifics(carat, syncro, westy, etc etc) 4) Additional specifics (conversion? stock wbx? what kind, displacement, etc) I don't need to know wheel/tire sizes etc. Why should you help? 1) You like vanagons so you're generally a helpful person, and may believe in Karma, since without it you'd have likely died roadside long ago 2) I am going to randomly send 2 participants Bostig T-shirts on Jan 15th(which have the witchdoctor vanagon on the back, and he's cool) 3) You're bored, and it's quick/easy 4) I need to know where we actually stand with regard to ground clearance for advertising purposes <---- super secret core reason for the post Send your listdatapoints to: listdatapoints@bostig.com and thank you in advance for the help! Moderators, if I'm doing anything nokay let me know... or just go samba-style and start deleting all threads that I've ever participated in because clearly they are all malicious hard-selling and I've never bought any banners. Happy holidays everyone, and thanks in advance, Jim Akiba |
