All,

Rubber wheel acquired from local Auto Paint & Body supply store. Wheel and
arbor ~ $15 out the door.

FYI...if any of you volks have not checked out your local Auto Paint & Body
Supply store for your restoration needs, please do. While they are not
Vanagon specific, they are paint and body specific.

Adhesives, removers, all kinds of paints & primers, panel fasteners, body
screws and fasteners, polishes, compounds, body fillers, POR15, sand papers,
tools...etc, etc, etc...GALORE.

Nothing against the internet for we enthusiasts, but for local pickup,
including possible Saturday hours...can't beat them.

just an FYI.

Bobby
